The invention described here is an improved fiber optic probe (10). The tip of the probe (10) is made from a transparent fill material (18) that is connected to the end (14) of a conventional optical fiber (12). The optical fiber (12) is tapered, the fill material (18) is connected thereto, and typically extends outwardly from the fiber (12) as though it is a continuous part of the fiber (12). The outer diameter of the fill material (18) is preferably essentially the same as the optical fiber (12). The fill material (18) may contain light- scattering elements that disperse light as it exits the fiber (12).
L~invention décrite ici porte sur une sonde à fibre optique améliorée (10). La pointe de la sonde (10) est réalisée dans un matériau de remplissage transparent (18) qui est connecté à l~extrémité (14) d~une fibre optique conventionnelle (12). La fibre optique (12) est effilée, le matériau de remplissage (18) est connecté à celle-ci et s~étend typiquement vers l~extérieur depuis la fibre (12) comme s~il s~agissait d~une pièce continue de la fibre (12). Le diamètre externe du matériau de remplissage (18) est de préférence principalement le même que celui de la fibre optique (12). Le matériau de remplissage (18) peut contenir des éléments à dispersion de lumière qui dispersent la lumière à la sortie de la fibre (12).
