Abstract

PURPOSE:To lead out an optical signal continuously by fitting each fiber core to a rotating body together while aligning it to the rotating shaft together with the rotating body, and converging parallel signals outputted from fiber cores on a focus position and outputting them. CONSTITUTION:When fiber cores 5a-5c rotate together with a drum 1 through the rotation of the drum 1, a rotating disk 12 rotates synchronously. Parallel signal light outputted from the 1st fiber core 5a is reflected by a small-diameter concave mirror 18, converged on a light guide member 21, and guided out of the drum 1 through the core 5a of a fiber cable 6 connected to a connector 25. Similarly, parallel signal light beams outputted from the 2nd and the 3rd cores 5b and 5c are guided out of the drum 1 through fiber cores 6b and 6c. Thus, optical signals guided to respective focus positions through a converging member are led out of the rotating body through light guide members to lead the optical signals out of the respective fiber cores simultaneously and continuously.
