<p>An improved fiberoptic pressure sensing system (8) is disclosed by tapering the tip end (14) of an optical fiber (12) or alternatively, by tapering or bundling a fiber or group of fibers (98) within a connector (92). By selectively-joining together fibers with a taper while tailoring numerical apertures of the connected fibers, a fiberoptic pressure sensing system is provided with an enhanced ability to increase sensitivity and signal-to-noise performance.</p> |
