Abstract
Content

A class of developmental photonic temperature-measuring systems is based on the use of miniature, fiber-optic-coupled Fabry-Perot interferometers as temperature transducers. These systems are intended for monitoring and control of advanced aircraft engines, conventional and nuclear powerplants, industrial plants, and other systems in which conditions could be too severe for electronic temperature sensors (thermocouples, thermistors, and bimetallic devices). Unlike electronic temperature sensors, these and other photonic temperature sensors do not pose a sparking hazard and are insensitive to electromagnetic interference at suboptical frequencies.
