title: Circular-array optical-fiber probe for backscattering photon correlation spectroscopy measurements.
abstract: A miniaturized probe comprising a circular array of optical fibers coupled to a graded-index microlens has been designed for analyzing colloidal solutions by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). The system's suitability for PCS measurements was validated by experimental testing performed in bulk solutions and small drops of monodisperse and bimodal test colloidal solutions.
