MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202637020400 A) filed by The University Court Of The University Of Edinburgh on February 21, 2026, for Optical Fibre, Fibre Connector And Optical Detection System.
Inventor includes Yerolatsitis, Stephanos.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: According to the present disclosure, there is provided an endoscopic fibre having a proximal end and a distal end, comprising a plurality of cores wherein one or more of the cores comprise excitation core(s) and one or more of the cores comprise collection core(s); wherein the excitation core or cores each comprises a solid core; wherein the collection core or cores each comprises a respective solid core with a refractive index that is different to a refractive index of the excitation core or cores; wherein the excitation core or cores are configured to transmit an optical excitation signal from the proximal end to a target region at or near the distal end; and wherein the collection core or cores are configured to transmit an optical detection signal from the target region at or near the distal end to the proximal end; and the difference in refractive index between excitation core(s) and the collection core(s) is such that cross-talk between mode(s) in the excitation core(s) and mode(s) in the collection core(s) is reduced or eliminated. There is also provided a fibre connector configured to connect to the fibre, a detection system comprising a laser source or other excitation light source connected to the excitation core(s) of the fibre, and a method of performing Raman spectroscopy comprising transmitting an excitation signal to a target region via the excitation core(s) of a fibre.
