A header-replaceable hybrid waveguide sensor comprises a header coupling
section including a dielectric layer having an optical signal input
section and an optical signal output section formed in one end thereof,
the dielectric layer having two lines of protrusions formed on the upper
surface thereof; and a polymer layer formed on and under the dielectric
layer; and a sensor header including a dielectric layer having a
protrusion formed on the upper surface thereof and a predetermined size
of thin metal film provided therein; a polymer layer formed on and under
the dielectric layer and having an opening formed in a portion
corresponding to the thin metal film, the opening having a larger width
than the thin metal film; and a receptor layer formed on the upper
surface of the dielectric layer exposed by the opening.
