Abstract:
Provided is an optical fiber probe 1 that can emit light having a high beam quality in a direction inclined with respect to the insertion direction of an optical transmission cable 10, while suppressing heat generated during irradiation. This optical fiber probe 1 for medical use comprises: an optical transmission cable 10 that transmits light emitted from a light source and emits the transmitted laser light L from a tip 13; an elongated curve maintaining member 40 that is disposed along the optical transmission cable 10 on at least the tip 13 side of the optical transmission cable 10, and that can maintain a curved state; a tubular member 30 into which the optical transmission cable 10 and the curve maintaining member 40 are inserted; and a holding part 60 that holds such that the relative position between the optical transmission cable 10, the curve maintaining member 40, and the tubular member 30 does not change.
