Main Article Content
Abstract
In this work, a number of techniques for high temperature sensing and measurement, especially those using a low-cost fluorescence-based approach, are reviewed, results are presented and compared and contrasted. Applications in a number of engineering sectors are considered and examples are given of trials of such sensors for industrial monitoring.
Keywords: optimal fiber sensor, temperature sensor
