Abstract
A description is given of a method for the construction of a fiber-optic sensor in which a chromophore is fixed on a support and said support is linked to at least one optical fiber for the transmission and reception of a light signal. According to the invention, the end of the optical fiber (F) is heated and brought to a softening temperature, and the support (S) is immobilized on the optical fiber (F) by partially incorporating it in the softened portion of the optical fiber and subsequently cooling and solidifying the optical fiber.
