Optical Fibre Probing (OFP) is a very useful technique to measure bubble/droplet (diameter, velocity and number density) in gas-liquid two-phase flows; furthermore the OFP is hopeful in other research fields. Its basic measurement principle is very simple: detection of change in the refraction indices. Accurate information about the penetration of a bubble/droplet by the probe is very difficult to obtain. Since the probing signals involve various kinds of optical information, no researcher succeeded in extracting physical meanings of the OFP signals. To improve the OFP measurement accuracy, deep understanding of the relationship between the probing signals and probe-bubble/droplet contacting process is needed. Through a newly developed lay-tracing simulator, the author analysed the optical signals and revealed the relationship. The objective of the present study is to improve the accuracy of the OFP, based on experimental results and the numerical results. Furthermore, the application of OFP to biotechnology will be proposed.
