Abstract
Optical sensing using microoptical devices is a promising area not only because of the small dimensions and cost-efficient production technologies of those devices. Many sensing principles are based on special features, which are only provided by microoptics and integrated optics. The tip of an optical fiber, for example, provides an extremely small detection area for point measurements. The fiber coil and the integrated optical phase modulators are components, essential for the operation of optical gyroscopes. The evanescent field of a guided wave allows the construction of very sensitive chemical and biochemical sensors. Often, very small sample volumes have to be analyzed in biochemical analytics. Miniaturization of the optical detection principles, therefore, is an important issue in analytics.
