This type of sensor consists of a multi-mode optical fiber and a temperature-sensitive material. Fiber optic temperature sensors are mainly classified into two types: Figure 1 illustrates a simple non-interferometric and non-luminescent type fiber optic temperature sensor. Their fully non-metallic, dielectric design ensures complete immunity to. A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors"). Fibers have many uses in remote sensing., thermocouples, RTDs), fiber optic sensors offer significant advantages such as immunity to electromagnetic interference. The commonly employed high- temperature-sensing optical fibers mainly include silica and MOFs.
