Fast-response high-temperature microfiber coupler tip thermometer
A compact temperature sensor based on a broadband microfiber coupler tip is demonstrated. The thermometer dynamic range spans from room temperature to 1511°C with a response time of tens of ms. This is the highest temperature measured with a silica optical fiber device. A resolution of 0.66°C was ac...

| Summary: | A compact temperature sensor based on a broadband microfiber coupler tip is demonstrated. The thermometer dynamic range spans from room temperature to 1511°C with a response time of tens of ms. This is the highest temperature measured with a silica optical fiber device. A resolution of 0.66°C was achieved for a coupler tip diameter of ~12.56 µm. Better resolution can be achieved with smaller size microfiber coupler tips. |
