Abstract

See full text

In an optical instrument for infrared spectral analysis of powder, an improved fiber optic probe is provided. Fiber optics carry light to and from the probe and the fiber optics terminate in the probe in a fiber optic endface. A sapphire rod is positioned to abut the fiber optic endface. The sapphire rod has a distal endface arranged at slightly less than one-half the maximum acceptance angle of the optic fibers in the probe.
