Abstract

La présente invention concerne un lecteur optique comportant une source de lumière (3810) émettant la lumière via une fibre optique (3820) en direction d'une matrice de détection. La fibre optique comporte une surface réfléchissante (3822) et un diffuseur (3824). La surface réfléchissante renvoie la lumière (3815), directement ou indirectement, en direction du diffuseur, lequel diffuse la lumière en sortie de la fibre optique. La fibre optique comporte en outre une rainure réfléchissante renvoyant la lumière vers le diffuseur en direction de la surface réfléchissante. Le diffuseur diffuse la lumière en direction d'un objet qui renvoie la lumière sur la matrice de détection. L'objet considéré est notamment un code à barres, du papier monnaie, ou tout autre objet à passer au lecteur optique. Le diffuseur peut être un diffuseur variable.
