CA 2358771

A fiber optic probe (110) is provided that includes a housing (160), at least one optical fiber (120) disposed within the housing, one end of each of the at least one optical fiber being disposed adjacent an opening in the housing forming a probe face, a binding agent (130) that binds the at least one optical fiber within the housing, and a protective coating (150) sealingly covering the probe face to prevent contaminants from contacting the at least one optical fiber. A method for protecting a fiber optic probe having a housing, at least one optical fiber being disposed adjacent an opening in the housing forming a probe face, and a binding agent that binds the at least one optical fiber within the housing, includes polishing the probe face to create a substantially flat probe face, cleaning the probe face after polishing the probe face and sealing the probe face with a protective coating.

L'invention concerne une sonde à fibres optiques qui comprend un boîtier; au moins une fibre optique disposée à l'intérieur du boîtier, une extrémité de chaque fibre optique jouxtant une ouverture du boîtier formant une face de la sonde; un liant fixant ladite fibre optique à l'intérieur du boîtier; et un revêtement de protection étanche recouvrant la face de la sonde pour empêcher que des contaminants ne viennent au contact de la fibre optique. L'invention concerne également un procédé de protection d'une sonde à fibres optiques constituée d'un boîtier; au moins d'une fibre optique disposée à l'intérieur du boîtier, une extrémité de chaque fibre optique jouxtant une ouverture du boîtier formant une face de la sonde; et d'un liant fixant ladite fibre optique à l'intérieur du boîtier. Le procédé consiste à polir la face de la sonde afin d'obtenir une face de la sonde sensiblement plane, à nettoyer la face de la sonde après polissage, et à fermer la face de la sonde avec le revêtement de protection étanche.
