Fiber optics represents a platform suitable for the monitoring of numerous physical properties. In biology and medicine, optical fibers have found a range of applications ranging from diagnosis to therapy such as cavitational and endoscopic laser surgery. This chapter reviews optical fibers and their wealth of applications in biomedical sensing: from cellular microenvironment to pH, gas, temperature, pressure, and blood flow.
