1. An in-line optical fiber sensor device to sense environmental information, the device comprising:

  • an optical input portion and an optical collector portion, both portions operatively configured to carry an optical signal;

    an environmental sensing region disposed between the input portion and the collector portion such that the input portion provides an optical signal to the environmental sensing region and the collector portion receives an optical signal from the environmental sensing region; and

    the environmental sensing region configured to have a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the optical input portion and the optical collector portion so that outer surfaces of the optical input portion, the optical collector portion, and the environmental sensing region are substantially co-planar.
