Ultrathin tapered optical fibers provide strong evanescent fields over almost unlimited length. Such fibers promise to even detect very few molecules or single atoms. In our experiment we demonstrate an extremely sensitive, simple and fast method for absorption spectroscopy of different organic molecules adsorbed at the surface of a fiber at ambient conditions. Furthermore, we are able to resolve the dynamics of agglomerating molecules while undergoing phase transition from gas to adsorbate. This results in a shift and broadening of the absorption spectrum. We discuss the potential for detection of single molecules. Furthermore the investigation of spectra in the strong coupling regime with a micro-cavity such as bottle or Fabry-Perot resonator is considered.
