E. Maurice et al., HIGH DYNAMIC-RANGE TEMPERATURE POINT SENSOR USING GREEN FLUORESCENCE INTENSITY RATIO IN ERBIUM-DOPED SILICA FIBER, Journal of lightwave technology, 13(7), 1995, pp. 1349-1353
We propose a sensor based on the temperature dependant behavior of the
two lines of green emission of the erbium ion, The ratio of the inten
sities of these two lines presents a very low dependance on pump wavel
ength and pump power fluctuations, The sensitivity of the ratio is 0.0
13/degrees C between room temperature and 600 degrees C. In addition,
the measurement is self-calibrated.
