ABSTRACT:
At least one fiber optic light conductor extends from a source and detection area to a measurement area. In the measurement area, the fiber end is prepared with an end surface slanted relative to the fiber axis and the slanted surface is coated with a reflective material so that light conducted through the fiber is reflected from the end surface and through the side wall of the fiber onto an object being measured. Light is reflected from the object in an amount depending upon the position of the object and reflected light is carried through a similar path by the same or a similar optical fiber to the detector, such that the detector signal correlates to the position of the object.
