Abstract
A fiber optic temperature sensor of the fluorescence decay type using a novel construction has been demonstrated. In this new design, both t he fiber and the sensing element are made of crystals, and the two are fused together to produce a monolithic probe. As the entire probe is crystalline, it can potentially be used to measure extremely high temp eratures. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
