Abstract :
A new dual-fibre probe for in vivo flow measurements was developed and tested. It consists of two multimode fibres with a reflecting surface at the end of the fibres to project the laser light to the sides of the fibres. Improved linearity between the flow velocity and the Doppler frequency is obtained with this probe
