    What are some fiber optic high-temperature sensing technologies

    According to the temperature measurement principle, fiber-optic sensors can be divided into blackbody radiation sensors, fluorescence-based sensors, interferometric sensors, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, and distributed temperature sensors (DTS). In fiber-optic high-temperature sensing systems, various optical fibers are used as the sensor transducer, as the medium for data transmission, or both [27, 28]. These sensors utilize light transmission properties through optical fibers to detect temperature. Fiber optic temperature sensors are immune to the many environmental effects that compromise other measurement technologies, can be embedded and installed in locations traditional temperature sensors cannot and deliver an unprecedented level of spatial detail and data without sacrificing precision.
