Abstract:
An optical fibre for an ultrafast laser endoscope including at least the following structures: a hollow core, the periphery of which has an order of symmetry of at least six when considering axes of symmetry passing through the centre of the core and through the centre of convex shapes, seen from the centre of the core, the convex shapes at least partly making up the periphery of the core; an intermediate layer of cellular structure surrounding the core; a light conducting peripheral structure surrounding the intermediate layer of cellular structure; and an outer sheath surrounding the light-conducting peripheral structure. A particular advantage of the optical fibre is that it optimizes the emission of a high-power flux associated with fluorescence collection.
