Abstract:
A side illuminated multi point multi parameter optical fiber sensor that requires no sensitive coating is provided. This sensor comprises an optical fiber having at least one removed cladding section as the sensitive region, at least one probing light source that side illuminates the fiber, a power supply, a detector, a signal processor and a display. The sensitive optical fiber is optically affected by the presence of a measurand medium that can fluoresce, phosphoresce, absorb and/or scatter the probing light. This probing light is guided by the fiber core towards a detector which measures the light intensity and this light intensity is correlated with a measurand.

Claim (Index 1):
A waveguide electromagnetic coupler comprising:\n a waveguide having a first and second termini, the waveguide having at least one point with no cladding between the first and second termini, and at least one electromagnetic source producing an electromagnetic wave, the source being in direct optical communication with the waveguide at the at least one point with no cladding; wherein said waveguide is configured to guide a fraction of said electromagnetic wave when said electromagnetic wave is directly incident upon said waveguide at the at least one point with no cladding; and wherein intensity of said fraction of the electromagnetic wave is determined by a detector that is placed at either termini of the waveguide.
