Abstract

To provide an easily used optical rotation measurement device that can measure glucose concentration in vivo or in collected blood at a high accuracy in real time and that can actually be used in medical settings without relying on a reagent. The problem is resolved by taking a configuration that is defocused without placing the end surface of an optical fiber at the focal point of a lens by using the result of inserting into an optical fiber ring interference system a nonreciprocal polarization conversion optical system that sandwiches a sample for optical rotation measurement, and in the input/output optical fibers of the nonreciprocal polarization conversion optical system, a large-core-diameter/low-NA single mode optical fiber as an input/output unit is connected to a small-core-diameter/high-NA single mode optical fiber as a transmission unit, with a mode alignment section therebetween.

Description

.201239336 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於使用偏光變換光學系測定採血之血液、 血清、生體等光散射檢體的旋光度之旋光度測定裝置及可 以使用於旋光度測定的偏光變換光學系以及使用該偏光變 換光學系的旋光度測定系統之旋光度測定方法(以下簡稱 「旋光度測定系統之旋光度測定方法」爲「旋光度測定方 法」),具體而言,是關於以使用模式整合部與散焦( defocus )偏光變換光學系而使可以測定旋光度測定檢體的 糖値的濃度的方式,對人的血液、血清、手指、耳、皮膚 等照射雷射光,測定其透過光及/或反射光而可以高的測 定精度測定旋光度測定用檢體的糖質成分濃度之旋光度測 定裝置及可以使用於旋光度測定的光纖光學系之偏光變換 光學系以及使用該光學系之旋光度測定方法。 【先前技術】 作爲血液中的葡萄糖濃度的測定方法所嘗試的第1方 法,例如在專利文獻1所記載的,對手指等生體的一部分 照射紅外雷射光,分光由血管所散射的光而測定血液中所 含的葡萄糖濃度的方法。這方法利用散射光會比例於葡萄 糖濃度而減低。但是,此方法會有散射光的光強度依存於 溫度或皮膚的水分或油成分等的問題,所以沒有廣泛普及 第2方法,例如在非專利文獻1及專利文獻2等所記 -5- 201239336 載的’使相互正交的偏光成分在旋光物質中傳送而以開放 迴圈(open loop)測量其複折射率之方法。但是,此方法 測定正常人的血糖値水平之O.lg/dL (分升,1/10公升) 程度,若測定後度1 〇mm程度的葡萄糖濃度的話,誤差很 大’在光散射大的血液或手指等生體完全不能測定葡萄糖 濃度。 第3方法爲專利文獻3所記載的複折射率測定裝置來 測定的方法》此方法與本發明同樣在由偏波面保存光纖所 構成的環狀干涉計之環狀光徑中設對向平行光學系,使平 行光束傳送於檢體內,藉由測定左右兩旋光的相位差而計 測檢體的旋光度。在此方法以放入厚度10mm程度的玻璃 製小池的葡萄糖能夠以充分的精度測定到正常人的血糖値 等級之〇 . 1 g / d L。 但是,前述第3方法亦即在光纖陀螺儀的環狀光徑中 置入檢體而由兩方項對其2射入平行光者,在檢體爲例如 人的拇指或食指的根部的皺紋部的場合,其插入損失達 6 0dB以上,受光水準會低於受光器的感度,而無法測定 照射於檢體的左旋光與右旋光之相位差。此原因,是從前 的偏波面保存光纖的芯直徑在訊號光的波長爲80 0nm〜 1500nm用的場合,分別小至4〜ΙΟμηα,所以無法以充分 的結合效率接受手指的皴紋部之光的散射光的緣故。 由以上情形可知,到目前爲止已有許多嘗試進行高精 度測定採血的血液或生體的葡萄糖濃度之光學測定裝置的 開發。但是,要以高精度測定採血的血液或生體的葡萄糖 -6- 201239336 濃度是極難的,即使可以用於水果的糖度測定者,要能夠 應用於採血的血液或生體的葡萄糖濃度的測定之測定器仍 然未被實現,現況是採血的血液或生體的葡萄糖濃度的測 定不得不仰賴使用試藥的化學方法。 〔先前技術文獻〕 〔專利文獻〕 〔專利文獻1〕日本特開2004-313554號公報 〔專利文獻2〕日本特開2007-0932 89號公報 〔專利文獻3〕日本特開2005-274380號公報 〔非專利文獻〕

如以上所述到目前爲止高精度測定採血的血液或生體 的葡萄糖濃度之光學測定裝置還未被實用化。其理由是因 爲使雷射光射入血液或生體時在生體內產生的散射非常大 ,所以檢測到的受光功率變得非常小,所以無法以高精度 測定葡萄糖濃度。 201239336 本發明係有鑑於以上之狀況而完成之發明,本發明所 欲解決之課題在於提供可以把採血之血液或生體的葡萄糖 濃度,不依賴試藥,而以醫療現場實際可以使用的高精度 即時進行測定,且容易使用的旋光度測定裝置,以及可以 使用於旋光度測定的新穎的偏光變換光學系以及使用彼之 旋光度測定方法。 〔供解決課題之手段〕 把在先端配置透鏡之光纖挾住被測定對象(檢體)而 在訊號光的光徑上對向配置,要減少由一方之光纖至另一 方光纖使光結合的光纖光學系之結合損失,只要採用使對 向的各光纖其端面位在透鏡的焦點位置之平行光光學系即 可,是眾所周知的技術思想。但是,根據本案發明人檢討 的結果,此方法並不能解決本發明之課題。 本發明與從前的技術思想不同,是藉由使用把光纖的 端面由透鏡的焦點位置移開而配置之全新的技術思想之散 焦偏光變換光學系而發現可以解決課題。進而,把模式整 合部導入偏光變換光學系,以從前所無法期待的低損失實 現以光纖挾住生體等之散射體之光學系的結合損失,而解 決了課題。以下,具體說明本發明之例。 爲了解決課題而完成之作爲本發明之例之第1發明(

著前述檢體的環狀干涉系,於前述檢體之射出射入面間使 用光纖平行光學系而進行光結合的話,專家公認可以把插 入損失減至最低。使用光纖平行光學系測定訊號光的強度 變化或相位變化的場合,把光纖的端面配置於平行透鏡的 焦點位置。 使用此方式針對種種前述檢體測定了相位變化。然而 ,在醫療現場等之實用化上,關於糖値的資訊的檢測精度 仍然不足,而知道有進而提高檢測精度的必要。 在此,本發明之發明人,超越此專家的常識,分別構 成使用把光纖的端面配置於透鏡的焦點位置之光纖平行光 學系的從前之光纖偏光變換光學系(以下,.亦稱爲從前型 偏光變換光學系)與把光纖的端面離開透鏡的焦點位置而 配置之散焦光纖偏光變換光學系(以下,亦稱爲散焦偏光 變換光學系),針對在對向配置之一對從前型偏光變換光 學系之間作爲前述檢體配置採血的血液或生體等而對前述 檢體射入作爲訊號光的偏光的場合,以及對向配置之一對 散焦偏光變換光學系之間配置與前述從前型偏光變換光學 系的場合相同條件之作爲前述檢體採血的血液或生體等而 對前述檢體射入作爲訊號光的偏光的場合,分別測定根據 -48- 201239336 前述檢體之訊號光的相位變化。 結果,發現使用散焦偏光變換光學系的場合,比起使 用從前型偏光變換光學系的場合,能夠以更高的精度測定 前述檢體所致之訊號光的相位變化,從而完成本發明。 進而,改變種種使用於旋光度測定裝置的光源波長以 及對應於其而使用於對向散焦偏光變換光學系的偏波面保 存光纖的芯徑而實驗性地檢討生體之插入損失。結果,發 現使用現在用於光纖雷射用的波長1 〇64nm用的芯直徑爲 3 0μπι之大芯徑.低ΝΑ ( NA爲開口數)偏波面保存光線 的話,比起波長1 〇60nm用的芯直徑爲7μπι的偏波面保存 光纖、使用ΡΜ980的場合,插入損失更低了 30dB。前述 大芯偏波面保存光纖,於波長1064nm除了基本模式以外 還傳遞數次之高次模式,所以光先在使用時捲繞於曲率半 徑3 0mm之線圈架而使其僅傳遞單模光。線圈架的半徑, 也依存於使用的前述大芯偏波面保存光纖的長度,但在對 向的光學系各個分別使用lm的場合,曲率半徑以25〜 3 5 mm爲佳。然而,因爲本發明的實施型態例之旋光度計 測是把檢體設置於環狀光干涉系之環狀光徑中,所以必須 要使用使來自光源的光分歧爲右旋光與左旋光或者進行結 合之光纖型耦合器,亦即2X2型方向性結合器。但是,芯 徑爲30μιη的偏波面保存光纖用耦合器尙未被商用化。此 外,本發明的實施型態例之旋光度計測採用所謂的相位調 變方式,所以要求某種程度的長度之環狀光纖,但芯直徑 爲3 Ομηα的偏波面保存光纖很昂貴所以在環狀光徑用會有 -49-

低起因於加工導致的誤差之連接損失。 圖3係供說明由使用於本發明的實施型態例之模式整 合部作出平行光之圖。在圖中,第2光纖2的端面2a位 在透鏡5的焦點位置6。又,於圖3〜圖6賦予符號7的 箭頭係顯示透鏡5的焦點距離之線。 圖4係供說明由使用於本發明的實施型態例之模式整 合部作出散焦光之圖。在此場合,光纖2的端面2a被配 置在比透鏡5的焦點位置6更離開透鏡的位置。 使用焦點距離1 . 8mm的透鏡,進行檢體爲手指根的皺 紋部的場合之透光實驗時,使第2光纖的先端2a接觸於 透鏡5的場合插入生體所導致的生體插入損失爲最低。但 是,把圖4所示之光學系之一對,使在光徑上挾著檢體而 使透鏡5之側對向配置,改變對向透鏡間的距離而進行實 驗的話,可知隨著透鏡間距離增加爲2,3,4mm生體透 過損失急速增加。使光纖先端部接觸於透鏡而配置的場合 ,偏光變換光學系的偏光子、法拉第元件(法拉第旋轉元 件)、四分之一波長板從光纖先端部看時有必要配置於透 鏡之後,所以物理上必須增大透鏡間距離,所以無法避免 前述生體透過損失的增大。此外,透鏡的焦點距離長至 -51 - 201239336 2.7 5mm時’生體透過損失在透鏡間距離爲2mm時無法減 低至70dB以下。 因此,使用焦點距離爲0.7mm之非球面透鏡( FLAM1Z101A,ALPS電氣公司製造)使第2光纖的端面 離開透鏡的焦點2 0 0

[Technical Field] The present invention relates to an optical rotation measuring apparatus for measuring the optical rotation of a light-scattering specimen such as blood, serum, or a living body using a polarization conversion optical system, and can be used for optical rotation. The polarization conversion optical system of the measurement and the optical rotation measurement method of the optical rotation measurement system using the polarization conversion optical system (hereinafter referred to as "the optical rotation measurement method of the optical rotation measurement system" are "the optical rotation measurement method"), specifically, It is a method of irradiating laser light to human blood, serum, fingers, ears, skin, etc. by using a mode integration unit and a defocus polarization conversion optical system to measure the concentration of the glycocalyx of the optical rotation measuring sample. An optical rotatory measuring device for measuring the concentration of a saccharide component of a sample for measuring optical rotation with high measurement accuracy by transmitting light and/or reflected light, and a polarization conversion optical system of a fiber optic system which can be used for optical rotation measurement and The optical rotation method of this optical system was used. [Prior Art] As a first method to be used for measuring the glucose concentration in blood, for example, in Patent Document 1, a part of a living body such as a finger is irradiated with infrared laser light, and the light scattered by the blood vessel is measured. A method of the concentration of glucose contained in blood. This method uses scattered light to be reduced in proportion to the glucose concentration. However, this method has a problem that the light intensity of the scattered light depends on the temperature or the moisture or the oil component of the skin. Therefore, the second method is not widely used, and is described in, for example, Non-Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2-5-201239336 A method of measuring the complex refractive index of an inter-polarized polarizing component in an optically active substance and measuring it in an open loop. However, this method measures the blood glucose level of normal people. Lg/dL (centrifugation, 1/10 liters). If the glucose concentration is about 1 〇mm after the measurement, the error is very large. The glucose concentration cannot be measured at any living body such as blood or fingers with large light scattering. The third method is a method of measuring by a complex refractive index measuring device described in Patent Document 3. This method is similar to the present invention in that a parallel optical path is formed in an annular optical path of a ring-shaped interferometer composed of a polarization-satelling optical fiber. The parallel light beam is transmitted to the inside of the sample, and the optical rotation of the sample is measured by measuring the phase difference between the left and right optical rotations. In this method, glucose in a glass cuvette having a thickness of about 10 mm can be measured with sufficient accuracy to the blood sugar level of a normal person.  1 g / d L. However, in the third method, the specimen is placed in the annular optical path of the fiber optic gyroscope, and the parallel light is incident on the specimen 2 by the two terms, and the specimen is, for example, a wrinkle of the root of the human thumb or forefinger. In the case of the part, the insertion loss is 60 dB or more, and the received light level is lower than the sensitivity of the light receiver, and the phase difference between the left-handed light and the right-handed light irradiated to the sample cannot be measured. The reason for this is that the core diameter of the optical fiber stored in the former wavefront is as small as 4 to ΙΟμηα when the wavelength of the signal light is 80 to 1500 nm, so that the light of the ridge portion of the finger cannot be received with sufficient bonding efficiency. The reason for the scattered light. As is apparent from the above, there have been many developments of optical measuring apparatuses which attempt to perform high-precision measurement of blood or blood glucose concentration of a living body. However, it is extremely difficult to measure the concentration of glucose-6-201239336 in the blood or the blood of the human body with high precision. Even if it can be used for the measurement of the sugar content of the fruit, it is necessary to be able to measure the glucose concentration of the blood or the living body. The assay is still not implemented, and the current state of measurement of blood glucose or the concentration of glucose in the body has to rely on the chemical method of using the reagent. [PRIOR ART DOCUMENT] [Patent Document 1] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2004-313554 (Patent Document 2) Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2007-0932 No. Non-patent literature] [Non-patent literature] Yokota Masahiro et al., "Glucose sensor using lead glass fiber polarizer modulator", 31st light wave sensing technology research conference LST31-8, PP. 5 1 - 5 6, August 2003 [Non-Patent Document 2] Kouoka, Yu Bao, "Development of Fiber Optic Gyroscopes", 3rd Lightwave Sensing Technology Research Conference, l ST 3 - 9, PP · 5 5 - 6 2,1 9 9 9 [Explanation] [The subject of the invention] The optical measuring device for measuring the blood glucose concentration of the blood or the living body with high precision has not been put into practical use as described above. . The reason for this is that since the scattering generated in the living body when the laser light is incident on the blood or the living body is very large, the detected light receiving power becomes extremely small, so that the glucose concentration cannot be measured with high precision. 201239336 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a high-precision high-precision drug that can be used in a bloody blood or a living body without depending on a reagent. An optical rotation measuring apparatus which is ready for measurement and which is easy to use, and a novel polarized light converting optical system which can be used for optical rotation measurement and an optical rotation measuring method using the same. [Means for Solving the Problem] The optical fiber that is placed at the tip end of the lens is placed against the object to be measured (sample) and placed on the optical path of the signal light, and the optical fiber that combines the optical fiber from one optical fiber to the other optical fiber is reduced. The bonding loss of the optical system is a well-known technical idea as long as a parallel optical system in which the end faces of the opposing optical fibers are positioned at the focal position of the lens is used. However, according to the results of the review by the inventors of the present invention, this method does not solve the problem of the present invention. The present invention is different from the prior art in that it has been found to solve the problem by using a defocused polarization conversion optical system in which a new technical idea in which the end face of the optical fiber is removed from the focal position of the lens is used. Further, the mode integration unit is introduced into the polarization conversion optical system, and the coupling loss of the optical system of the scatterer such as the living body by the optical fiber is realized with a low loss which cannot be expected from the prior art, thereby solving the problem. Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be specifically described. In order to solve the problem, the first invention of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the invention 1") is an optical fiber having an optical fiber with a lens disposed at a tip end portion, and an optical path of the signal light. In the opposite direction, the signal light emitted from the optical fiber is irradiated onto the sample of -8 - 201239336, and the invention of the optical rotation measuring device for measuring the optical rotation of the sample is described. It is characterized in that at least one of the optical fibers in which the lens is disposed at the tip end portion is a single-mode optical fiber in which the first optical fiber having a different core diameter is connected to the second optical fiber transmission mode integrating portion, and the first optical fiber is relatively small. Core diameter. The high NA (where NA is the number of openings) single mode fiber and the second fiber is a large core diameter and low ΝΑ single mode fiber, and the single mode fiber in which the first fiber and the second fiber transmission mode integration unit are connected is the aforementioned The second optical fiber is closer to the side of the sample than the front side of the sample, and the optical fiber of the lens is disposed adjacent to the front mirror as an output and/or input lens"), and at least the surface of the optical fiber in which the lens is disposed in the portion where the signal light is disposed a lens located away from the lens of the output portion (that is, the signal light transmitted through the output portion of the output portion and/or the optical rotation of the other optical fiber sample through which the lens is disposed in the front portion) The invention relates to a photometric measuring device for optical information. However, the polarized light that exhibits a remarkable effect on the optical rotation of the present invention improves the correlation of the sample with respect to the optically-polarized polarization conversion optical system, and the measurement of the above-mentioned signal is the most emphasized. The first optical fiber is disposed on the optical path in the vicinity of the end surface of the side of the distal end portion of the object to be placed opposite to each other (hereinafter referred to as "output portion optical path", The end face of the arrangement, the position of the end point of the signal light, the position of the end focus position, and the end of the optical fiber of the optical fiber are incident on the sample by the end face mirror, and the reflection is transmitted through the sample. The signal light is incident on the end surface of the apex to determine the defocused rotation associated with the aforementioned mode integration unit. For the present invention, the measurement device and the optical rotation measurement method will be described in detail later, and the mode integration unit is used for the fiber length. For the measurement of the optical information, the optical component of the optical component is used in the measurement of the optical information associated with the optical rotation, for example, in the measurement of the optical information associated with the optical rotation. The measurement accuracy of the optical information can be improved by using a defocusing optical system for the polarization conversion optical system. Next, the present invention is used as a polarization conversion optical system by using a light-integrated mode integration unit and a polarization conversion optical unit. The defocusing polarization conversion optical system including the mode integration unit of the defocus optical system is not only the blood of blood collection, but also the thumb and index finger root of the hand. The optical information relating to the optical rotation of the living body such as the wrinkle portion can be measured with high precision.

Further, the above Inventions 89 to 103 use a defocusing polarization conversion optical system including a mode integrating portion in the polarization conversion optical system. Such a measurement method exerts a great effect as compared with the previous measurement method. However, as will be apparent from the following detailed description, the present invention can provide an optical rotation degree which is far superior to the previous measurement method, even in the polarization conversion optical system using the defocused polarization conversion optical system exemplified in the above-described inventions 60 to 74. In addition, in the polarization conversion optical system, the polarization conversion optical system including the mode integration unit exemplified in the above Inventions 75 to 88 can provide an optical rotation measurement method which is more excellent than the previous measurement method. Also included in the present invention. The present invention widely includes a defocusing polarization conversion optical system using a non-opposing polarization surface rotation element such as an optical fiber including a mode integration unit and a Faraday rotation element, and/or a ring optical interference system using a parallel optical polarization conversion optical system.

Polarization conversion optical system. [Effects of the Invention] By using the optical rotation measuring apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to use the polarization conversion optical system of the optical rotation measuring system and the optical rotation measuring method using the polarization conversion optical system, thereby enabling high-precision measurement. The optical information of the body associated with the optical rotation. According to the invention of the polarization conversion optical system of the optical system including the mode integration unit, the optical information relating to the optical rotation of the sample can be measured with extremely high precision that can not be expected from the previous one. The optical rotation measuring device of the present invention is used. In the case of the polarization conversion optical system or the optical rotation measurement method, even if it is a light-scattering sample such as blood or a finger, it is not necessary to collect blood, and the glucose concentration of the living body related to blood glucose can be measured. The present invention, in particular, a non-invasive measurement method for not collecting blood, the first is not accompanied by the complicated or painful blood collection by the needle, and the second is that the disposal of the blood collection needle is not required, so that it is more sanitary, and the third is unnecessary.

Therefore, the blood glucose monitoring can be performed for several times in one day and can be used for the health management of diabetic patients or healthy persons. Wait, you can make a big difference. Next, by using the optical rotation measuring apparatus of the present invention which can perform measurement of a light-scattering sample in a general household, the present invention brings about a great gospel which can reduce the number of diabetic patients in the present world, -46-201239336 There is also a great gossip that can greatly reduce the cost of the treatment. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each of the drawings for explanation, the size, shape, arrangement relationship, and the like of each component are schematically displayed to the extent that the example of the present invention can be understood. Next, in order to explain the convenience of the present invention and to partially show the change in magnification, the drawings used for the description of the examples of the present invention may be similar to the actual objects or the descriptions of the embodiments. In the drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will not be repeated. Further, in the description of the present invention, the optical rotation measuring apparatus of the present invention has a plurality of parts for explaining the polarization conversion optical system and the optical rotation measuring method. That is, in order to avoid duplication of explanation, a method of not causing misunderstanding, unless otherwise specified, the description of the polarization conversion optical system also explains the part of the optical rotation measuring device or the optical rotation measuring method, and vice versa. . The inventors of the present invention have obtained the same expectation that the blood glucose level of the blood collection or the living body can be measured by a large number of medical personnel by many medical personnel so far, which is the same as the problem to be solved by the present invention. 'A lot of efforts have been made for its implementation, and the reasons why it has not been realized until today have been analyzed in detail. As a result, it has been difficult to realize a related measuring instrument by various conventional measuring methods, and it has been found that it is necessary to adopt the conclusion that the new measuring principle has not been used so far in this type of measurement. -47-201239336 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the basic configuration of the measuring device is to use a ring-shaped interference system using an optical fiber to inject polarized light into the sample, and it is preferable to measure the phase change of the polarized light. Further improve the measurement accuracy. When the ring-shaped interference system of the sample is placed between at least one pair of optical fibers constituting the annular optical path of the annular interference system, and the optical parallel optical system is used for optical coupling between the emission and entrance surfaces of the sample, Experts recognize that insertion losses can be minimized. When the intensity change or the phase change of the signal light is measured using the fiber parallel optical system, the end face of the optical fiber is placed at the focus position of the parallel lens. In this way, phase changes were measured for various samples described above. However, in the practical use of medical sites and the like, the accuracy of the detection of information on glycocalyx is still insufficient, and it is known that it is necessary to further improve the detection accuracy. Here, the inventors of the present invention, beyond the common knowledge of the expert, respectively constitute a prior art fiber-optic polarization conversion optical system using a fiber-optic parallel optical system in which an end face of an optical fiber is disposed at a focal position of a lens (hereinafter, Also referred to as a front-type polarization conversion optical system) and a defocused fiber polarization conversion optical system (hereinafter also referred to as a defocus polarization conversion optical system) in which the end surface of the optical fiber is separated from the focal position of the lens, and is disposed in the opposite direction. In the case where a pair of anterior-type polarization conversion optical systems are used as blood or blood samples for blood collection as the sample, and the specimen is incident on the polarized light as signal light, and one of the opposite pairs is disposed, the defocused polarization conversion optical system When the specimen is subjected to the polarized light as the signal light, the blood is collected as the blood or the living body of the specimen, and the specimen is subjected to the same conditions as in the case of the above-described prior-type polarization conversion optical system, and the measurement is performed according to -48-201239336. The phase change of the signal light of the specimen. As a result, when the defocusing polarization conversion optical system is used, it is found that the phase change of the signal light by the sample can be measured with higher accuracy than when the prior type polarization conversion optical system is used, and the present invention has been completed. Further, the insertion loss of the living body was experimentally examined by changing the wavelength of the light source used in the optical rotation measuring apparatus and the core diameter of the optical fiber for the polarization-reserving optical fiber used in the opposite defocusing polarization conversion optical system. As a result, it was found that a large core diameter of a core diameter of 30 μm was used for the wavelength of 1 〇 64 nm which is currently used for fiber lasers. When the low-lying (NA is the number of openings) is stored on the deflecting surface, the optical fiber is stored at a wavelength of 7 π 60 nm, and the optical fiber is used. When the ΡΜ980 is used, the insertion loss is 30 dB lower. The large-core bias wave-preserving optical fiber transmits a high-order mode several times in addition to the basic mode at a wavelength of 1064 nm, so that the light is first wound around a bobbin having a curvature radius of 30 mm to transmit only single-mode light. The radius of the bobbin also depends on the length of the optical fiber used to store the length of the optical fiber. However, in the case where lm is used for each of the opposing optical systems, the radius of curvature is preferably 25 to 35 mm. However, since the optical rotation measurement of the embodiment of the present invention is to arrange the specimen in the annular optical path of the annular optical interference system, it is necessary to use the light from the light source to be divergent and left-handed or The combined fiber type coupler, that is, the 2X2 type directional coupler. However, a coupler for a polarization-preserving optical fiber having a core diameter of 30 μm is not commercially available. Further, the optical rotation measurement of the embodiment of the present invention employs a so-called phase modulation method, so that a ring-shaped optical fiber of a certain length is required, but a polarization surface having a core diameter of 3 Ομηα is expensive, so it is in a ring shape. The light path will have a problem of -49-201239336 which is not economical. From such a background, the inventors of the present invention considered to realize a mode integration with a prior art core-wavelength 7μηι and 30μηι polarized surface-preserving optical fibers (hereinafter, the portion integrating the acquisition modes is simply referred to as a mode integration portion). Fig. 1 is a view for explaining a mode integration unit used in an embodiment of the present invention. In other words, a so-called core-expanded fiber which is an enlarged core portion is formed by heating the vicinity of the end portion of the vicinity of the emitting portion of the relatively small core diameter/high ytterbium-wave surface of the first optical fiber, and the end portion is expanded as a core. The end portion of the small core diameter/high ytterbium wave surface of the first optical fiber of the optical fiber and the end portion of the optical fiber 2 which is the relatively large core diameter and low yoke surface of the second optical fiber are connected by the mode integrating unit 3 to be reinforced. Keep the fiber 1 to the large core diameter from the small core diameter and high ΝΑ ΝΑ wave surface.  The insertion loss of the mode integration portion of the low-lying polarization plane to preserve the direction of the optical fiber 2 is as small as O. ldB, but its loss in the opposite direction is as high as 1. 8dB. Reference numeral 4 shows a connection portion between the first optical fiber 1 and the second optical fiber 2 including the mode integration unit 3. This portion is also referred to as a mode integration portion hereinafter. Fig. 2 is a view for explaining a mode integration portion used in an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the mode integration unit 3 and the mode integration unit 4 are at least an end portion of the first optical fiber that is a core-expanded fiber and a first optical fiber that is connected to the end portion of the second optical fiber that is connected to the first optical fiber. The configuration of the optical fiber includes the end portion. However, the mode integration unit 3 and the mode integration unit 4 of the present invention are not limited thereto, and there are many variations. As an example, the end portion of the second optical fiber that is connected to the side of the first optical fiber can be stretched, for example, by heating the vicinity of the end portion of the second optical fiber, and the core diameter of the vicinity of the end portion of the second optical fiber can be connected. Formed on the side of the first optical fiber -50-201239336 is formed in a decreasing manner, and is connected to the first optical fiber. Further, the core enlarged portion or the core reduced portion is mostly such that the outer shape of the optical fiber is somewhat deformed due to heat during processing, so that the end portion of the second optical fiber is processed by processing the end portion of the optical fiber into a core-expanding optical fiber. Partial processing into the core-reducing fiber and connecting the end portions of both can further reduce the connection loss due to processing-induced errors. Fig. 3 is a view for explaining parallel light by a mode integrating portion used in an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the end face 2a of the second optical fiber 2 is positioned at the focus position 6 of the lens 5. Further, the arrow assigned with reference numeral 7 in Figs. 3 to 6 is a line showing the focal length of the lens 5. Fig. 4 is a view for explaining defocusing light by a mode integrating portion used in an embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the end face 2a of the optical fiber 2 is disposed at a position away from the lens from the focus position 6 of the lens 5. Use focus distance 1 .  In the case of a light transmission test in which the sample is a wrinkle portion of the finger root of the 8 mm lens, the insertion loss of the living body due to the insertion of the living body when the tip end 2a of the second optical fiber is in contact with the lens 5 is the lowest. However, when one pair of the optical systems shown in FIG. 4 is placed on the optical path, and the side of the lens 5 is placed opposite to each other, and the distance between the opposing lenses is changed, it is known that the lens is interposed between the lenses. The distance increased by 2, 3, 4mm and the growth loss of the organism increased rapidly. When the fiber tip end portion is placed in contact with the lens, the polarizer, the Faraday element (Faraday rotator element), and the quarter-wave plate of the polarization conversion optical system need to be disposed behind the lens when viewed from the fiber tip end, so physically The distance between the lenses must be increased, so that the increase in the transmission loss of the living body described above cannot be avoided. In addition, the focal length of the lens is as long as -51 - 201239336. At 7 5mm, the growth loss of the living body cannot be reduced to 70 dB or less when the distance between the lenses is 2 mm. Therefore, the focus distance is 0. A 7 mm aspherical lens (FLAM1Z101A, manufactured by ALPS Electric Co., Ltd.) measured the growth loss of the living body by separating the end face of the second optical fiber from the focus of the lens by 20 μm, and found that the distance between the lenses was 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm, respectively. 38. 2dB, 39. 4dB, 45. 8dB, the distance from the focus is 2. In the case of a 75 mm lens, the reduction is about 30 dB or more. In addition, the use of the focus distance is 1. The same biological loss was obtained in the case where the 5 mm aspherical lens was subjected to an experiment by leaving the end face of the second optical fiber away from the focal point of the lens of 600 μm. In the optical rotation measuring device, the polarization conversion optical system, and the optical rotation measuring method, which are embodiments of the present invention, the annular optical path of the annular interference system is used, and the sample is placed in the middle of the annular optical path. The optical path of the signal light is divided into a fiber-optic terminal in the middle of the annular optical path in which one of the specimens are aligned, and a fiber-optic terminal in the middle of the other annular optical path, and is divided into a polarization conversion optical system, and the polarization conversion optical system is formed. It is a non-opposing optical system using a polarizing surface rotating element. The polarizing surface rotating element rotates the polarizing surface of the signal light clockwise or counterclockwise toward the direction in which the signal light is incident when the polarizing beam as the signal light is incident on one side of the polarizing surface rotating element. At a specific angle, when the polarized light beam as the signal light is incident on the other side of the polarizing surface rotating element, the polarizing surface of the signal light is directed toward the direction in which the signal light is directed, and is opposite to the case where the light is incident from the one side. Directional rotation -52- 201239336 It is preferred to rotate the polarizing surface rotating element acting only in a specific angle. In the method of measuring the optical rotation of the embodiment of the present invention, the circular optical path of the ring-shaped interference system transmits the polarized light as the right-handed signal light and the polarized light as the left-handed light, as described in detail below, the annular interference. The optical fiber portion of the ring-shaped optical path transmits the polarized light as the right-handed signal and the polarized light as the left-handed signal in the same intrinsic polarization mode as the right-handed signal light and the left-handed signal light, respectively, and the sample portions are in mutual The orthogonal polarization states are transmitted as right-handed and left-handed light, respectively, and the optical rotation of the sample can be detected with high precision by utilizing the respective configurations of the present invention. Fig. 5 is a view showing the parallel circular polarization by the mode integrating portion used in the embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 5, the end face 2a of the optical fiber 2 is positioned at the focus position 6 of the lens 5. In Fig. 5, reference numeral 11 is a polarization conversion parallelizer including a mode integration portion. In Fig. 5, the large core diameter of the output of the pattern integration unit 4 (pigtail). The low-NA bias surface preserves the linearly polarized light of the optical fiber 2, collimates as the signal light by the lens 5, sequentially transmits the polarizer (polarizing plate) 8, the Faraday rotating element 9 as the polarizing surface rotating element, and the quarter-wave plate. 10 is polarized by a circle. Fig. 6 is a view showing defocusing circular polarization by a mode integrating portion used in an embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 6, the end face 2a of the optical fiber 2 is located more at the opposite side of the lens than the focus position 6 of the lens 5. 7mm (ie, a position further away from the lens). In Fig. 6, reference numeral 12 is a defocusing polarization conversion optical system including a mode integrating portion. 6, the polarizer 8, the Faraday element 9, and the quarter-wave plate 10 are positioned between the lens 5 and the end face 2a of the second optical fiber 2, but the focal length and the degree of defocusing of the lens used may be changed, for example, -53- 201239336 In the case of the parallel optical system of Fig. 5, after the lens 5, the polarizer 8, the Faraday rotator 9, and the quarter-wave plate 10 of Fig. 6 are disposed on the end face 2a of the optical fiber 2 of the lens 5. The opposite side. Fig. 7 is a view showing a light beam emitted from a circularly polarized light collimator including a mode integrating portion according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 8 is a view showing a configuration for use in an embodiment of the present invention. A diagram of a light beam emitted by a circularly polarized defocused light system of the mode integration unit. In FIG. 7, the light beam 13 emitted from the polarization conversion collimator (mode integrated collimation polarization conversion optical system) 11 including the mode integration unit is a parallel circularly polarized light of a parallel beam, and is incident on a direction in which it is disposed. The sample (not shown). In FIG. 8, the light beam 14 emitted by the defocused polarization conversion collimator (mode integrated defocus polarization conversion optical system) 12 including the mode integration unit is a defocused circular polarization of the condensed light beam, and the incident light is arranged. The sample (not shown) in the direction of the sample is collected in the vicinity of the emission end of the sample. Fig. 9 shows an optical system in which the sample 15 is inserted between the parallel mode polarization conversion optical systems 11_1 and 11-2 as an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 10 shows an optical system in which the sample 15 is inserted between the opposite mode integrated defocusing polarization conversion optical systems 12-1, 12-2 as an embodiment of the present invention. When the sample 15 is an aqueous solution having a low scattering loss in general, the parallel mode polarization optical system is integrated in the opposite mode of Fig. 9, and the insertion loss is small. However, when the sample 15 is a light scatterer such as a living body, as a result of various experiments, the opposite mode of Fig. 10 is compared with the parallel mode polarization-converted light-54-201239336 of the opposite mode of Fig. 9. The insertion loss of the integrated defocused polarization conversion optical system is approximately 1,000 times (30 dB). The simulation method that can explain the results of this experiment is not commercialized. As a result of the experiment, in the optical system of Fig. 6, the polarizer 8, the Faraday rotator 9, and the quarter-wave plate 10 were made as thin as possible, and they were placed between the end faces of the optical fibers and the lenses. Further, the opposite defocusing polarization conversion optical systems 12-1 and 12-2 including the mode integrating unit of Fig. 9 which is placed in the annular optical path of the optical interference system to be described later are incident on the living body. The intersecting circularly polarized light is transmitted to the sample 15 after the orthogonal circularly polarized light transmitted in both directions, and the polarized polarization conversion optical system is passed through the opposite direction, and the opposite polarization plane is stored in the opposite polarization plane to combine the same polarization as the incident linear polarization. In the mode of the axis, the opposite polarization plane is adjusted to preserve the inherent polarization axis orientation of the fiber and the inherent polarization axis orientation of the opposing quarter-wave plate. Fig. 11 is a view showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which a defocusing polarized light converting optical system 12-1, 12-2 including a mode integrating portion is used to obliquely illuminate a light-scattering specimen with a combined optical system. Figure. Figure 11 is a reflection system of a transmission system with respect to Figure 10 . Symbol 16 is a quartz glass plate, and 17 is a quarter-wave plate. Generally, the phase of the light reflected on the surface of the living body or the living body is reversed. Therefore, if there is no phase plate, the emitted light and the reflected light become orthogonal circularly polarized light, and the phase difference is offset, so that the living body cannot be measured. The phase difference caused by optical rotation. By placing the phase plate between the living body (in this case, a type of mirror) and the incident light, the same circularly polarized light as the incident light is reflected, so that the defocusing optical system including the mode integration portion including the polarization state is obtained. - 1 combined with 1 2 - 2. Moreover, the measurement system of Fig. 1 1 - 55 - 201239336 uses a metal plate, and is different from the previous SPR (surface plasma resonance) in principle. FIG. 1 is an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 10, and a combined optical system in which a light-scattering body is attached to a counter-defocusing polarization conversion optical system including a mode integrating portion is provided in a ring-shaped optical fiber. The invention relates to the present invention for measuring the optical rotation of scattered light and reflected light from the surface and inside of the light-scattering body 15 in the circular optical path of the optical fibers 21-1 and 21-2 in the small-diameter-high NA-wave surface of the chime system. A configuration diagram of the main portion 28 of the optical rotation measuring apparatus of the embodiment. The light source 18 is an SLD (Super Luminescent Diode) having a wavelength of 1060 nm, and its output is guided to a first directional coupler (coupler) 19-1, a fiber-type polarizer 20, and a second directional coupler (coupler) 19- 2, the small core diameter high NA polarization surface maintaining fiber 21-1 and the small core diameter high NA polarization surface holding fiber 21-2 which are formed by the second coupler 1 9-2 to form an annular optical path are respectively transmitted and transmitted The left-handed and right-handed linear polarized light of the annular optical path is 23 4 , 23-2. The first directional coupler (coupler) 19-1 can be replaced by a polarization-preserving optical circulator. Reference numeral 22 denotes an optical phase modulator for holding a small core-core high-deflection surface of the cylinder type PZT (lead zirconate titanate) to preserve the optical fiber 21_1. The left-handed right-handed light around the annular optical path is connected to the defocusing polarization conversion optical systems 12-1, 12-2 including the mode integrator at the joints 24-1, 24-2, respectively. The emitted light of the sample 15 is transmitted to the opposite defocusing polarization conversion optical system 12-1, 12-2, and passes through the second coupler 19-2, the optical fiber type polarizer 20, and the first coupler 19-1 to receive light. The unit 25 converts the electric signal into an electric signal, and the signal processing unit 26 calculates the phase difference of the left-handed right-handed rotation of the optical scatter of the light-scattering sample 15 by the calculation of the -56-201239336 signal processing unit 26. The signal processing unit 26 applies a sinusoidal modulation signal 27 of 20 kHz to the optical phase modulator 22. The signal processing of Fig. 12 is a method used in the phase modulation type fiber optic gyroscope described in Non-Patent Document 2. When the phase modulation is modulated at 20 kHz, the circular interference system outputs a 40 kHz component of the 2× wave and an 80 kHz component of the 4× wave in addition to the fundamental wave of 20 kHz. The phase difference between the left-handed and right-handed light transmitted to the annular optical path is obtained from the intensity ratio of the fundamental wave to the doubled wave. The ratio of the 2x wave to the 4x wave is proportional to the phase modulation and is thus controlled in a certain manner. In Fig. 12, the annular optical path of the ring-shaped interference system mainly stores the optical fibers 21-1, 21-2 and the defocused polarized light of the embodiment of the present invention with a polarization surface that occupies most of the loop. The optical system 1 2-1, 1 2-2 is converted to the light scattering sample 15 . In particular, as shown in Fig. 12, as described above, only the left-handed and right-handed transmitted light of the portion of the light-scattering sample 15 is transmitted by the right and left circularly polarized lights, and the other polarized surfaces are transmitted. The portion of the preserved fiber is delivered in the same intrinsic polarization mode in which the fiber is stored on the bias wavefront. In this way, it is possible to stably measure the phase difference of only the right and left circularly polarized light in the portion of the light-scattering sample. In general, linearly polarized light is decomposed into left and right circularly polarized light, and it is known that the phase of the left and right circularly polarized light produces a difference of 20, and the direction of the polarized light changes only by zero. In Fig. 12, the phase difference of the left and right circularly polarized light of the light-scattering sample 15 can be measured, and the optical rotation can be measured. Next, the case where the light-scattering sample 15 is the wrinkle portion of the finger will be described -57-201239336. The skin thickness of the subject is about 1. 5mm. This part of the light through the loss itself is 〇. The insertion loss is 65 to 7 in the case of the collimation of the optical fiber in the polarization direction of the optical fiber for the wavelength of 1 550 nm. 0 d B degree.

In the case of the defocusing collimator of Fig. 10 of 3 mm, the loss is 40 dB, which is 3 OdB or more lower than the above example. The level of loss of the optical interference system of this experiment is as follows.

Under such conditions, the average time of the measurement was 10 seconds, and the phase difference of the left and right circularly polarized light transmitted to the wrinkles of the finger can be measured with a sufficient signal to the noise of -58 to 201239336. Further, in the case of the phase difference measurement, the variable optical attenuator VO A3 3 disposed on the input side is used to adjust the received light level to the same level as in the case of the sample. In this experiment, a refractive index integrator was applied to the wrinkles of the fingers to suppress the reflection loss. Further, a sapphire plate for holding the living body is used at the tip end of the opposite polarization conversion optical system. In this experiment, the detection of the signal synchronized with the pulse is performed. The measuring unit is located at a right angle to the optical axis and simultaneously measures the phase difference. As a result, a result is obtained in which the phase difference changes depending on the part. This can be explained as a result of a change in the beam passing through the blood vessel portion and the portion not passing through the blood vessel portion. Data related to blood glucose sputum were obtained by measuring the actual diabetes patients repeatedly. In addition, a multimode fiber is placed in parallel with the polarization-preserving optical fiber for optical rotation measurement described in the present invention in the vicinity of the site to be measured, and the pulse can be measured by measuring the variation in insertion loss. Further, when the phase difference between the left and right circularly polarized light transmitted to the annular optical path was monitored before and after eating and before eating, it was apparent that the phase difference changed after eating. Therefore, it is considered that the sugar contained in the body fluid is detected. FIG. 1 is a mode of the present invention, and the combined optical system shown in FIG. 1 is obliquely irradiated to the light-scattering sample by using a mode-integrated opposite defocusing polarization conversion optical system. In the annular optical path of the system, the configuration of the main portion 29 of the optical rotatory measuring device for measuring the optical rotation of the light transmitted to the surface of the light-scattering sample is measured. -59-201239336 In this case, before the specimen 15 is placed, the mirror is placed in the specimen portion in advance, and the precision necessary for the coupling between the defocused polarization conversion optical systems 1 2-1 and 1 2-2 is obtained. The axis is aligned. Thereafter, the finger is placed on the quarter-wave plate 17 to measure the optical rotation of the reflected light and the scattered light from the living body. In fact, a refractive index integrator is used between the quarter wave plate and the finger. In this experiment, the phase difference was also measured while the measurement site was shifted in the plane of the quarter-wave plate. As a result, a result of a change in the phase difference depending on the part is obtained. This can be explained as a result of a change in the beam passing through the blood vessel portion and the portion not passing through the blood vessel portion. By making data related to blood glucose sputum in the measurement of the actual diabetic patient, a correspondence table between the measurement data and, for example, blood glucose 预先 is prepared in advance, for example, input to the memory portion of the signal processing circuit 26 in advance, and the measurement result is displayed. Way to constitute. Further, in addition to the signal detection of the pulse, it is effective to periodically press the portion that holds the living body to periodically change the thickness of the living body, and to detect the periodic signal synchronized with the period. Further, it is also possible to use the aforementioned pulse and the signal for periodically changing the thickness of the body. According to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the single mode fiber and the other single mode fiber is disposed at an output end lens (the output portion lens is a left-handed signal of the ring-shaped interference system) The signal light of one of the right-handed lights, for example, when the left-handed light is the output-side optical fiber, the right-side optical light of the other signal light becomes the lens of the input-side optical fiber, but as described above, it is called the output portion lens). At least one of the end faces of the single-mode optical fiber having the output lens is not the focus position of the output portion lens -60-201239336 defocusing polarization conversion optical system. FIG. 1 is a view showing a measurement method of the main portion 28 of the optical rotation measuring apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, and is a view for observing that the light beam emitted from the defocused polarization conversion optical system 12-1 is irradiated onto the measurement target. A diagram of the method of which part of the body 15. That is, in the actual measurement, the laser beam from the laser beam 30 as the visible light laser is incident on the other incident end of the second coupler 19.. 2 of FIG. 14 before the sample 15 The half mirror 3 1 observes which portion of the specimen 15 the light beam emitted from the defocus polarization conversion optical system 12 is irradiated with the microscope 32. When the sample 15 is a living body, the blood vessel portion can be observed by applying the oil. When the optical rotation is measured, the nitrogen-neon laser is turned off, and the microscope and the half mirror are removed for measurement. Thereby, the relationship between the optical rotation and the position of the blood vessel of the living body becomes clear. In the measurement of the biological rotation of the sample which is an embodiment of the present invention, a fiber having a light source wavelength of 1060 nm and a core diameter of 30 μm and a low NA (〇.〇7) are used to store the optical fiber. In the same wave, the inventors of the present invention investigated the core diameter dependence of the transmission loss by changing the core diameter of the optical fiber of the polarization-retaining optical fiber to 7 μm, 20 μm, and 30 μm when the opposite polarization conversion optical system was caught in the living body. As a result, when the wavelength of the light source is made to be 1 30,000 nm or more, the core diameter can be made 40 μm under the same NA, and the growth loss of the living body can be further reduced by 1 OdB. Further, the loss of the Faraday element (garnet) used in the polarization conversion optical system is about 5 dB when using an SLD having a wavelength of 1 060 nm, but it is as small as almost negligible at 1 300 nm. Further, when the wavelength of the light source is increased, the core diameter -61 - 201239336 can be increased, and the 1 550 nm band is affected by the absorption loss of moisture contained in the living body. In addition, if the wavelength is increased, it is susceptible to loss due to fiber bending. That is, the inventors used a wide-band light source of 1 300 nm band and the corresponding large core diameter and low NA polarization surface to store the optical fiber, and the defocusing system can achieve the highest precision non-invasive optical rotation measuring device. Under these conditions, the optical rotation of whole blood was measured. The level of loss of the optical interference system of this experiment is as follows. Light source output: 10mW (polarized surface preserves fiber output) Optical gyro (annular interference system) loss: 5dB (However, the first coupler is used as the optical circulator) Clamp the control of the stripping groove placed in the effective length of 1 mm Group of depolarized polarization conversion of blood combined with optical system insertion loss: 44dB mode integration loss: 2dB (2 places) Connector and splice loss: 2dB wavelength 131 Onm including the polarization polarization of the Faraday element Loss of the optical system: ~OdB (2 places)

Under such conditions, the average time of the measurement was 10 seconds, and the phase difference of the left and right circularly polarized light transmitted to the blood of the control group can be measured with a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio. Further, in the case of the phase difference measurement, the variable optical attenuator VOA33 disposed on the input side is used as the reference level, and the light level -62 - 201239336 is adjusted to the same level as in the case of the sample. In the experiment where the sample was blood, the insertion loss was almost free of blood thickness dependence. That is, even if the thickness is 0.1 mm, the insertion loss is 40 dB, the thickness is 45 dB at 1 mm, and 45.5 dB at 2 mm. This should be caused by multiple reflections inside the blood. When the thickness is 1 mm, the rotation angle of glucose of a healthy person is 0.0005 degrees. The phase difference measured by the ring interference system was 0.001 degree twice. The length of the polarization-preserving optical fiber other than the polarization conversion optical system of the annular optical path of the annular interference system used for the experiment was 400 m. In this ring-shaped interference system, the sensitivity of the minimum phase measurement is 0.00005 degrees when a normal fiber-optic ring-shaped interference system is taken in addition to the opposite polarization conversion optical system. This is confirmed by the difference in the measured enthalpy when the angular velocity of the earth is measured by this ring-shaped interference system. That is, it is possible to achieve an optical rotation capable of measuring whole blood with sufficiently high precision. In the above, the defocusing optical rotation measuring apparatus including the mode integrating unit of the present invention, the defocusing polarization conversion optical system including the mode integrating unit, and the optical rotation measuring method using the optical system using the optical system are described. Each of the above-described configurations of the embodiment of the invention is used not only in a separate state, but also in a defocusing optical rotation measuring device including a mode integrating portion, a defocusing polarization conversion optical system including a mode integrating portion, and using the same. The optical rotation system of the optical system can also exhibit the effects of the present invention. The various effects of the present invention can also exert the effects of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be carried out according to the technical idea of the present invention. All kinds of changes. -63-201239336 [Industrial Applicability] As described above, the invasive blood glucose measurement which cannot be achieved so far can be achieved by the present invention. As a result, it is possible to liberate the diabetic patient from the complication of one blood collection, and further, by preventing the preservation of the blood glucose sputum measuring device of the present invention, the number of diabetic patients which are gradually increasing in the world can be reduced, and the treatment site can be greatly reduced. The fee that must be spent. Next, the present invention can be utilized not only in the medical field but also in the field of health care, and can be utilized in a wide range of fields in the fields of health equipment, pharmaceuticals, foods, and agriculture.
