- This paper presents the design, fabrication and ex-vivo use in ovine lungs of an endoscopic fibre probe used to sense pH levels in the distal alveolar space. The probe consists of a unique dual core fibre, end cap, distal surface enhanced Raman sensors and biocompatible packaging. Tim Birks conceived the asymmetric dual core fibre. He oversaw the bespoke optical fibre design, fabrication and testing by J. Stone and F. Yu (both Bath PDRAs at the time).
