ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing an optical fiber probe includes the steps of providing an optical fiber including a core and a outer protective layer disposed therearound; removing a portion of the outer protective layer to expose a portion of the core; etching the exposed portion of the core to achieve a predetermined shape and thus form a detector; surrounding the detector with a gel solution containing metal particles; and evaporating a solvent in the gel solution to form a metal layer on the surface of the detector.
