Abstract: A sensor device is described. The sensor device comprises a source of fluorescence, wherein said fluorescence is function of a physical phenomenon to be sensed and wherein said fluorescence is generated in response to an excitation provided by a source of excitation; a collector for collecting said fluorescence; a reflector placed around said source of fluorescence to reflect said fluorescence towards said collector, wherein said reflector is provided with an opening at its vertex, the source of fluorescence being arranged within said reflector to sense said physical phenomenon through said opening. A magnetometer comprising said sensor device is also disclosed.
