Abstract
The present invention relates to a paired optical fiber probe with a single body lens and a method for manufacturing the same. The probe includes a first optical fiber, a second optical fiber arranged in parallel with the first optical fiber, and an optical fiber lens which is formed by heating a predetermined region including one end of the first optical fiber and one end of the second optical fiber using a heating means such that ends of the first and second optical fibers are integrally connected to each other, the optical lens having a lens surface with a predetermined radius of curvature. Thus, an optical coupling efficiency can be effectively improved through a simple manufacturing process, and the probe of the present invention can be utilized in a fluorescence spectroscopic system or an imaging system adopting reflectometry.
