Abstract
An optical thermometer stable to electromagnetic disturbance has been investigated. The thermometer consisted of optical fiber cable that ha d a heat sensitive probe at the end of the cable. The probe consisted of a housing tube, quartz core and liquid clad. Near the temperature a t which the refractive indexes of quartz and liquid were equal, light transmission of the fiber changed greatly with slight variation of tem perature. Consequently, a thermal resolving power of 3 X 10(-4)degrees -C was obtained.
