An optical fiber probe for an interferometric measuring device having a mechanical receptacle into which an optical fiber is inserted, having a fiber end piece which projects over the mechanical receptacle and contains optical components for guiding a measuring beam onto a measuring object, and having a reflection zone situated in the fiber for partial reflection of a light beam guided in the fiber. The reflection zone is situated in the fiber end piece. A method for manufacturing such an optical fiber probe. The fiber is separated at a predefined point, a partially reflecting coating is applied to at least one of the separation sites, and the two fiber parts are subsequently reconnected. The optical fiber probes may thus be manufactured with a long fiber end piece, which makes it possible to interferometrically measure deep cavities having a small diameter.
An optical fiber probe for an interferometric measuring device comprising:
A method for manufacturing an optical fiber probe for an interferometric measuring device including a mechanical receptacle, an optical fiber inserted into the mechanical receptacle and having a fiber end piece which projects beyond the mechanical receptacle and contains optical components for guiding a measuring beam onto a measuring object, and a reflection zone situated in the fiber end piece for partial reflection of a light beam guided in the fiber, the reflection zone surrounded only by the fiber end piece, the method comprising:
