Abstract
The Compound Parabolic Concentrator (CPC) optical fiber tip shape has been proposed for intensity based fluorescent
sensors working on the principle of FRET (Förster Resonance Energy Transfer). A simple numerical Zemax model has
been used to optimize the CPC tip geometry for a step-index multimode polymer optical fiber for an excitation and
emission wavelength of 550 nm and 650nm, respectively. The model suggests an increase of a factor of 1.6 to 4 in the
collected fluorescent power for an ideal CPC tip, as compared to the plane-cut fiber tip for fiber lengths between 5 and
45mm
