Optical computing device

Abstract

The present application provides an optical computing device, which includes a light-emitting element, a lens element, an optical component and a light receiver. The lens element covers the light-emitting element. The lens element receives and collimates a light emitted by the light-emitting element. The optical component disposed on a side of the lens element. The optical component includes a light guide element, receiving the light on a side thereof, and emitting the light from another side thereof, a channel layer covering an outside of the light guide element, and an outer cladding layer covering an outside of the channel layer. The light receiver receives the light from the optical component, uses the channel layer to reduce the consumption of light inside the light guide element, and improves the light guide efficiency of the light guide element.
