- the slant FOP3 is a kind of so-called fiber optical plate (fiber optic plate, FOP) in which a plurality of optical fibers 6 bundled and integrated are formed in a plate shape.
- the fiber optical plate is an optical element in which, for example, several tens of thousands of single fibers having a diameter of several ⁇ m are bundled and fused (for example, by heating or pressing).
- a single fiber is generally composed of three types: a core glass that transmits light, a cladding glass that covers the core glass, and an absorber (EMA) glass that absorbs light leaking from the core glass.
- EMA absorber
- a single fiber causes total reflection at the boundary due to the difference in refractive index between the core glass and the clad glass, and transmits light. Light incident at an angle greater than the maximum light receiving angle does not cause total reflection and escapes out of the fiber, but is absorbed by the absorber glass disposed around the cladding glass. Therefore, it is possible to transmit an optical image without reducing the resolution.
- the slant FOP 3 includes a plurality of optical fibers 6 and an absorber 7 that is disposed between the optical fibers 6 and absorbs light leaked from the optical fibers 6.
- the optical fiber 6 includes a core 8 and a clad 9 that covers the periphery of the core 8.
- the slant FOP 3 includes an input end face 4 constituted by upper end faces (first end faces) of a plurality of optical fibers 6 and an output end face (second end face) constituted by lower end faces (second end faces) of the plurality of optical fibers 6. 5).
- the slant FOP3 is formed to have a constant thickness, and the input end face 4 and the output end face 5 are parallel to each other.
- the slant FOP3 includes an optical axis Rf of the optical fiber 6 and an angle formed by the optical axis Rf of the optical fiber 6 and the output end surface 5 within a predetermined normal plane substantially orthogonal to the output end surface 5 is a predetermined slant. It is formed to have an angle ⁇ (first angle).
- the slant angle ⁇ is an angle of less than 90 °.
- the normal line surface corresponds to the paper surface of FIGS.
- optical axis tilt direction S the direction in which the optical axis Rf of the optical fiber 6 is inclined with respect to the output end face 5 is indicated by an arrow S in FIG.
- this direction is referred to as an optical axis tilt direction S.
- the finger 2 is placed on the input end face 4 of the slant FOP 3 so that the fingertip faces the optical axis tilt direction S.
- an irradiation light source (irradiation means) 10 that irradiates light to the output end face 5 and a CCD [Charge Coupled Device] that detects a fingerprint image based on the light emitted from the output end face 5.
- the camera (uneven pattern detecting means) 11 is arranged.
- the irradiation light source 10 an incandescent bulb, a discharge lamp, an LED [Light Emitting Diode], an organic EL [Electro Luminescence], a laser, or the like is used.
- the irradiation light source 10 is arranged on the output end face 5 side of the slant FOP3 in the optical axis tilt direction S when viewed from the slant FOP3.
- the irradiation light source 10 is arranged so that an angle formed between the light irradiation direction and the output end surface 5 is a predetermined irradiation angle ⁇ (second angle) within the normal plane.
- the irradiation angle ⁇ is an angle of less than 90 °.
- the CCD camera 11 is disposed directly below the slant FOP 3 and images the entire fingerprint of the finger 2 placed on the input end face 4 from the front. Further, the CCD camera 11 is disposed below the irradiation light source 10.
- the slant angle ⁇ of the slant FOP 3 and the irradiation angle ⁇ of the irradiation light source 10 are set so as to satisfy the cladding incident condition in which the light incident on the core 8 of the optical fiber 6 from the output end face 5 enters the cladding 9. Is set (see arrow A in FIG. 2). In the concavo-convex pattern detection apparatus 1 set in this way, the light irradiated to the output end face 5 by the irradiation light source 10 does not become the main body of fiber transmission in the optical fiber 6.
- the light incident on the core 8 from the output end face 5 enters the clad 9 and scatters without being totally reflected at the boundary surface between the core 8 and the clad 9. Part of the scattered light is absorbed by the absorber 7, and part of the light that is not absorbed by the absorber 7 travels through the slant FOP 3 and reaches the input end face 4.
- the slant angle ⁇ is 68 °. If the irradiation angle ⁇ is an angle within the range of 24 ° to 90 ° from the normal N, the cladding incident condition is satisfied, and light enters the cladding 9 and scatters.
- the light irradiated to the output end face 5 by the irradiation light source 10 becomes the main fiber transmission in the optical fiber 6. That is, the light that the irradiation light source 10 has made incident into the core 8 from the output end face 5 is totally reflected at the boundary surface between the core 8 and the clad 9 of the optical fiber 6 and travels through the core 8 to the input end face 4.

- the slant angle ⁇ is 68 °.
- the irradiation angle ⁇ is an angle of 0 ° or more and 24 ° or less from the normal line N, the clad incident condition is not satisfied, and the light travels in the core 8.
- an arrow C in FIG. 2 indicates that light in a direction parallel to the output end face 5 irradiated from the side of the slant FOP3 may not satisfy the cladding incident condition.
- the concavo-convex pattern detection apparatus 1 having the above configuration, when the light emitted from the irradiation light source 10 is incident from the output end face 5 and reaches the input end face 4, the light is scattered or projected on the convex portion of the finger surface in contact with the input end face 4. Light is reflected by the input end face 4 in the recess that is absorbed in the finger 2 and does not contact the input end face 4. As a result, the fingerprint, which is an uneven pattern on the finger surface, appears as the brightness of the reflected light, so that the CCD camera 11 can detect the fingerprint as an image.
- the concave / convex pattern detection device 1 since it is not necessary for light to pass through the finger 2 during fingerprint detection, it is possible to avoid a decrease in image contrast due to the influence of the thickness of the finger 2.
- the light irradiated by the irradiation light source 10 satisfies the clad incident condition, the brightness of the reflected light according to the unevenness of the fingerprint appears clearly, and thereby an image with sufficient contrast can be detected. Therefore, according to this concavo-convex pattern detection apparatus 1, it is possible to improve the reliability of concavo-convex pattern detection.
- the slant FOP3 is employed instead of the prism, even if dirt such as finger oil adheres to the input end face 4, the accuracy of fingerprint detection is reduced. Can be prevented. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, in the method of collecting a fingerprint by pressing the finger against the prism, the fingerprint is detected by utilizing the change in the total reflection condition caused by the moisture of the finger, and therefore, it adheres to the input end face 4. In addition to the fingerprint M to be detected, the residual fingerprint N is detected due to the influence of the finger oil or the like. On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
- the uneven pattern detection apparatus 1 since the uneven pattern detection apparatus 1 employs the slant FOP3, it is not easily affected by dirt adhering to the input end face 4, and only the fingerprint M to be detected is detected. It becomes possible to detect with high accuracy.
