Abstract
Abstract A part of the light energy transmitted through an optical conductor is diverted and taken out of it. The device is made up of a first optical conductor rod having a through-hole in a radial direction, a second optical conductor rod tightly inserted into the half way position of the through-hole and firmly fixed thereon, the edge surface of the second optical conductor rod in the through-hole being formed on a surface inclined in relation to the direction of the first optical conductor rod's axis, a third optical conductor rod tightly inserted into the remaining portion of the through-hole, the edge surface of the third optical conductor rod in the through-hole being formed so as to be engaged with the inclined surface of the second optical conductor rod, and a fourth optical conductor rod firmly fixed on the outer circumferential surface of the first optical conductor rod so as to cover the inserted portion of the second optical conductor rod, the third optical conductor rod having a groove formed along the direction of the third optical conductor rod's axis and the inclined surface of the third optical conductor rod being fixed leaving a predetermined distance or gap between it and the inclined surface of the second optical conductor rod.
