Abstract
An interrogation system and method are described herein which use a single-fiber launch/receive system for interrogating a biosensor (optical sensor) to detect the occurrence of a bio-chemical interaction (e.g., biological binding of ligands with analytes). In one embodiment, the single-fiber launch/receive system utilizes a multimode fiber to help interrogate the biosensor. In another embodiment, the single-fiber launch/receive system utilizes a downjacketed singlemode fiber to help interrogate the biosensor.
