- the wavelength of the laser light is not limited to this, and may be appropriately selected depending on the material of the optical fiber (tapered fiber, etc.).
- the present invention is not limited to this, and an optical element such as a prism may be used. Any optical element that generates a near field (evanescent field) may be used.
- the laser beam may be incident on an optical element such as a prism in an optical system using optical fibers, lenses, mirrors, or the like.
- the present invention relates to a sensor, and can be applied to the measurement of media such as water and solutions, chemical species, magnetic fields, temperature and other external environments.
