In this paper, the design and development of dual wavelength noninvasive fiber optic probe based oxyhemoglobin sensor has been presented. This instrument can be used for real time monitoring contents in the blood. It is well known that in blood, the oxygen is carried by the hemoglobin. It uses the dual wavelength spectroscopy which can be performed on blood to determine the oxyhemoglobin saturation. The two sources used are of wavelength 632.8 nm and 830 nm. Two probes containing a bundle of fibers are designed out of which two are source fiber and one is detector fiber. Two finger holders are also designed to prevent any variation in intensity due to finger movement. The backscattered intensity and transmitted intensity of red light and near infrared light are measured. With the help of the ratio of the backscattered intensities and transmitted intensities of red light and near infrared light, oxyhemoglobin saturation is determined.
