Light radiating fiber probe

Abstract

The present invention provides a light radiating fiber probe that can emit light with high beam quality in a direction inclined relative to an axial direction of an optical transmission cable. A light radiating fiber probe 1 is mounted in medical equipment for treatment, and includes: an optical transmission cable 10 through which light emitted from a light source is transmitted; and a light refracting unit 20 provided on a leading end 13 side of the optical transmission cable 10 and refracting, via two or more refracting surfaces 21, laser light L emitted from the optical transmission cable 10 to emit light inclined by a predetermined angle or larger relative to an axial direction X of the optical transmission cable 10.
