β¦ Synopsis
The detection of a chemical species located m the daddmg regon of a section of a step-Index multnnode fibre, usmg the frequency power spectrum of a transnutted and back-reflected optlcal pulse m the fibre, IS dlscussed The techmque IS evaluated for the dlstnbuted sensmg of flu&, partaxdarly gases wth absorption bands m the vlslble and near mfrared portlon of the spectrum. The method whde less sensltwe than evanescent wave transmlsslon spectroscopy IS particularly sulted to dlstibuted senang wdh alI the measurements made at the launch end of the fibre

A compact and inexpensive fiber-optic evanescent wave immunosensor is presented which uses a diode laser as excitation source both in continuous wave measurements as well as in time-resolved experiments. The continuous wave laser operates at 657 nm utilizing a commercially available dye-conjugated p
