<p>A fiber optic probe (110) is provided that includes a housing (160), at least one optical fiber (120) disposed within the housing, one end of each of the at least one optical fiber being disposed adjacent an opening in the housing forming a probe face, a binding agent (130) that binds the at least one optical fiber within the housing, and a protective coating (150) sealingly covering the probe face to prevent contaminants from contacting the at least one optical fiber. A method for protecting a fiber optic probe having a housing, at least one optical fiber being disposed adjacent an opening in the housing forming a probe face, and a binding agent that binds the at least one optical fiber within the housing, includes polishing the probe face to create a substantially flat probe face, cleaning the probe face after polishing the probe face and sealing the probe face with a protective coating.</p> |
