ABSTRACT
The tip of a piece of plastic fiber was dyed with thymol blue to form a temperature probe. The fiber optic sensor was calibrated on a heatboard by comparison with a K-type thermal couple. Fluorescence characteristics including fluorescence intensity, emission bandwidth, peak & barycenter wavelengths, and self-referenced intensity ratio were used to carry the information of environment temperature. Accordingly, more than five temperature sensing functions were retrieved from the fluorescent sensor. Among such functions, the emission band barycenter showed premium precision. Temperature-driven shift of the emission band barycenter has a sensitivity of 0.095 nm/K, with a nonlinearity of 2.2%FS, resolution of 4 K and repeatability of 1.8%FS. The sensor can find its applications in wearable devices and radiofrequency ablation. Finally in a verification experiment, the sensor was used to monitor the temperature of a microwave oven chamber in real time.
