Abstract

Chemical sensing with optical fibres is one of the more interesting areas of optical fibre sensors, and as classical chemical instrumentation frequently employs spectrometry there is a natural extension to using optical fibres as light guides in spectrometers. A number of people have reviewed work in optical fibre chemical sensors (1, 2, 3, 4) and optical fibre biomedical sensors (5, 6).
