Abstract
A method for manufacturing an optical fiber probe includes the steps of providing an optical fiber including a core and a outer protective layer disposed therearound; removing a portion of the outer protective layer to expose a portion of the core; etching the exposed portion of the core to achieve a predetermined shape and thus form a detector; surrounding the detector with a gel solution containing metal particles; and evaporating a solvent in the gel solution to form a metal layer on the surface of the detector.

A method for manufacturing an optical fiber probe, comprising steps of:
- providing an optical fiber comprising a core and an outer protective layer disposed therearound;
- removing a portion of the outer protective layer to expose a portion of the core;
- etching the exposed portion of the core to yield a predetermined shape and thereby form a detector;
- dipping the detector into an alkaline solution to form a negative ion layer on a surface of the detector;
- after forming the negative ion layer, surrounding the detector with a gel solution comprising of metal particles and carrying positive electric charges such that the positive electric charges of the gel solution can be attracted by the negative ions of the negative ion layer thereby the gel solution being adsorbed on the surface of the detector;
- and
- evaporating a solvent in the gel solution to form a metal layer on the surface of the detector.
