Abstract[English]
An optical probe assembly including a lens assembly extending along a central axis for optically coupling to an optical fiber. The lens assembly can have a forward facing exit window. The exit window can have an exit lens with a convex exit surface. The exit lens can extend from a periphery of the exit window and terminate partway across the exit window. The convex exit surface of the exit lens can be tilted inwardly relative to the central axis. The exit lens can bend light received from the optical fiber forwardly out of the exit window at an outward angle relative to the central axis.[French]
L'invention concerne un ensemble de sonde optique comprenant un ensemble lentille s'étendant le long d'un axe central pour un couplage optique à une fibre optique. L'ensemble lentille peut avoir une fenêtre de sortie orientée vers l'avant. La fenêtre de sortie peut avoir une lentille de sortie avec une surface de sortie convexe. La lentille de sortie peut s'étendre à partir d'une périphérie de la fenêtre de sortie et se terminer à mi-chemin de la fenêtre de sortie. La surface de sortie convexe de la lentille de sortie peut être inclinée vers l'intérieur par rapport à l'axe central. La lentille de sortie peut courber la lumière reçue de la fibre optique vers l'avant hors de la fenêtre de sortie à un angle extérieur par rapport à l'axe central.
