サイリスタの光導入装置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a light introduction device for an optical thyristor, and more particularly to a light introduction device for an optical thyristor that improves the transmission efficiency of an optical fiber that sends a gate signal light to a photosensitive part of an optical thyristor. .

用いられている。 Generally, a light-igniting thyristor is turned on by irradiating light instead of using a current pulse as a gate signal, and is known as a LASCR. In this type of thyristor, an optical fiber is used to supply gate signal light to the photosensitive section of the optical thyristor.

is mounted, and an optical fiber 3 is set with its tip end close to the gate of the optical thyristor 2. The optical fiber 3 is made of a quartz rod, and is supported by a metal sleeve 5 of the case 4. Further, a resin 6 is filled in the gap between the sleeve 5 and the optical fiber 3 to maintain airtightness.

に制限があつた。 However, with such a conventional light introducing device, since the surface of the quartz rod serving as the optical fiber 3 comes into contact with the resin 6, part of the light transmitted through the quartz rod is transmitted to the resin side. There was a problem that the light transmittance decreased. In order to prevent this decrease in transmittance, it is necessary to lower the refractive index of the resin layer to a greater extent than that of quartz, which imposes restrictions on the selection of resin.

An annular gap 18 is formed between the top and bottom ends 19 and 20, and in order to keep this gap 18 constant, in the embodiment shown in FIG. There is. The gap 18 is filled with air or kept in a vacuum to form an air layer and function as a cladding.

The amount of light transmitted within the rod 16 that is transmitted to the cladding side can be reduced.
