Abstract
Fiber optic probe scatterometers for spectroscopy measurements are disclosed. An example device includes an optically transparent illumination tube, an opaque tube, an inner surface of the opaque tube being adjacent an outer surface of the illumination tube and the illumination tube being disposed within the opaque tube, and an optical fiber disposed within and spaced a first distance from the illumination tube, wherein the opaque tube is to be coupled to a spectrometer and an illumination source to provide a light signal along the illumination tube and to collect a scattered light signal via the optical fiber for the spectrometer.
