Abstract
Glass capillaries with a chemically sensitive coating on the inner sur face are used as optical sensors for medical diagnostics. The capillar y simultaneously serves as a sample compartment, a sensor element, and an inhomogeneous optical waveguide. Different optical setups have bee n investigated and compared regarding its waveguiding properties.
