Abstract
An optical fiber () having a first section (A) with little or no small-angle scattering (SAS) and a second section (B) with an increased amount of SAS is disclosed. The optical fiber is formed by changing the draw temperature (T) and/or the draw speed (V) so as to induce index of refraction perturbations (P) at a core interface (). The SAS optical fiber is useful in forming an evanescent optical fiber sensor (), wherein the increased SAS enhances an evanescent wave portion () of a guided wave (), which leads to increased sensitivity when measuring a property of a test medium ().
