Abstract
Light from a direction (D) different from a predetermined direction is reflected by a tapered surface () so as to enter an optical fiber () for guiding light entering along the predetermined direction to an appliance. Light from the desired direction (D) may thereby be reflected by the tapered surface () according to the angle of the tapered surface () and may be made to enter the optical fiber (). Accordingly, even in a case where the installation position of an optical measurement probe () is limited, if the angle of the tapered surface () is appropriately set, light from the desired direction (D) may be made to enter the optical fiber ().
