Optical Probes for Non-Invasive Analyte Measurements
First Claim
1. An optical probe for non-invasively measuring an analyte property in a biological sample of a subject, comprising:
- a plurality of illumination fibers that deliver source light from an optical probe input to a sample interface,a plurality of collection fibers that deliver light returned from the sample interface to an optical probe output, andwherein the illumination and collection fibers are oriented substantially perpendicular to the sample interface and the illumination and collection fibers are stacked in a plurality of linear rows to provide a stack of fibers.

Abstract
An optical probe for non-invasively measuring an analyte property in a biological sample of a subject, comprises a plurality of illumination fibers that deliver source light from an optical probe input to a sample interface, a plurality of collection fibers that deliver light returned from the sample interface to an optical probe output, and wherein the illumination and collection fibers are oriented substantially perpendicular to the sample interface and the illumination and collection fibers are stacked in a plurality of linear rows to provide a stack of fibers arranged in a rectangular pattern. The optical probe is amenable to manufacturing on a scale consistent with a commercial product.
