<p>The invention provides miniature side-viewing fiber optic probes that achieve high collection efficiency by maximizing the overlap of a laser delivery fiber's illumination and a collection fiber's collection cone. The probes can be made with as few as one optical piece, in addition to the optical fibers. In one embodiment of the invention, the probes are configured for performing Raman spectroscopy. Spectroscopy systems utilizing the probes of the invention are also provided.</p> |
