A method is provided for manufacturing a fiber optic sensor for detecting or measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide in a sample fluid. The method involves preparation of a suitable indicator composition (16) and incorporation thereof in a silicone capsule (14) slidably arranged over the tip of a fiber optic (12), sealed with a suitable adhesive means (18). To amplify the signal obtained, the capsule (14) is preferably fabricated so as to contain reflective particules, and tapers to a narrow tip. Novel optical sensors are also provided, as are methods for using the sensors to evaluate CO2 concentration in a sample fluid.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un détecteur à fibre optique permettant de détecteur du gaz carbonique contenu dans un échantillon de fluide ou d'en mesurer la concentration. Le procédé consiste à préparer une composition indicatrice adéquate (16) et à l'incorporer dans une capsule de silicone (14), disposée en relation coulissante sur le bout d'une fibre optique (12), et fermée de façon étanche par un moyen adhésif adéquat (18). Pour amplifier le signal obtenu, la capsule (14), qui est faite de préférence de façon à contenir des particules réfléchissantes, se rétrécit en une extrémité étroite. L'invention concerne également de nouveaux détecteurs optiques, de même que des procédés d'utilisation de ces détecteurs pour évaluer la concentration en CO¿2? d'un échantillon de fluide.
