1、 The impact of medical microwave electromagnetic interference on human temperature monitoring
Medical microwave electromagnetic interference may have various impacts on traditional human temperature monitoring methods.
Firstly, from the perspective of interference sources, there are numerous devices in the medical environment that generate microwave electromagnetic interference, such as microwave therapy devices. When these devices work, they generate a certain intensity of microwave electromagnetic field. For traditional electronic temperature monitoring devices, such as thermometers based on thermocouple or thermistor principles, their operation relies on the conduction and conversion of electronic signals. Under microwave electromagnetic interference, this electronic signal may be interfered with. বিশেষ করে, it manifests as signal distortion or the superposition of noise, which is like mixing noisy background sound into a quiet sound signal, making it difficult to accurately read the originally clear temperature signal.
In terms of the impact on monitoring accuracy, taking medical equipment such as electrocardiographs and electroencephalographs that require precise signals as an example, if subjected to microwave electromagnetic interference, a distortion similar to certain lesions may be superimposed on the detection results such as waveforms, graphics, and images, causing misdiagnosis. Temperature monitoring equipment may misjudge temperature values when subjected to similar interference, affecting the correct assessment of the patient’s temperature status. তাছাড়া, in a medical environment, if multiple devices are used simultaneously, such as microwave equipment operating in conjunction with other electronic monitoring devices, interference may become more complex and severe, thereby affecting the accuracy and reliability of human temperature monitoring. উপরন্তু, microwave electromagnetic interference may also affect the stability of monitoring equipment, leading to equipment malfunctions or abnormal operation, making temperature monitoring unable to proceed normally.
2、 Principle of Fluorescent Fiber Optic Monitoring Human Temperature
Fluorescent fiber optic monitoring of human temperature is mainly based on the response characteristics of fluorescent materials to temperature.
Fluorescent materials have a special energy level structure that transitions from the ground state to the excited state when exposed to appropriate excitation light. Electrons in the excited state are unstable and will return to the ground state through radiative transitions and emit fluorescence. And the characteristics of this fluorescence (যেমন তীব্রতা, lifetime, ইত্যাদি।) are related to temperature. When the temperature changes, the energy level structure inside the fluorescent material will undergo certain changes, which will affect the emission process of fluorescence. উদাহরণস্বরূপ, as the temperature increases, the intensity of fluorescence may weaken or the fluorescence lifetime may change.
In a fluorescent fiber optic temperature monitoring system, there is usually an excitation light source that emits light of a specific wavelength, which is transmitted through the fiber optic to the probe site containing fluorescent material. This probe can be placed near the body parts that require temperature monitoring. The fluorescence signal generated when the fluorescent material is excited will be transmitted back to the detector through the optical fiber. The detector will measure the relevant characteristics of fluorescence, such as intensity or lifetime, and then infer the temperature of the environment (in this case, the human body) based on the pre established fluorescence characteristic temperature relationship curve. This temperature monitoring method based on fluorescent optical fibers has unique advantages in medical environments with electromagnetic interference due to the electromagnetic insulation properties of the fibers themselves. তাছাড়া, the loss of fiber optic transmission signals is low, enabling long-distance transmission. The sensor’s optoelectronic components can also be placed far away from the temperature measurement site to avoid harsh environmental interference factors. উপরন্তু, the sensing method of fluorescence fiber optic temperature measurement technology often uses quartz fiber optic. In radiation temperature measurement, fiber optic replaces the spatial transmission optical path of conventional thermometers, making the interference factors such as dust, mist, and water vapor have little impact on the measurement results. তাছাড়া, fiber optic has small mass, small cross-section, and bendable transmission, which can measure the temperature of invisible working spaces and facilitate installation and use under special working conditions.
3、 Application case of fluorescent fiber optic monitoring of human body temperature in the medical field
(1) Temperature monitoring in tumor hyperthermia
During tumor hyperthermia, precise control of the temperature of tumor tissue is required. উদাহরণস্বরূপ, microwave hyperthermia or radiofrequency hyperthermia aim to heat the tumor to an effective therapeutic temperature range while avoiding excessive damage to surrounding normal tissues. If the tumor temperature is below the treatment temperature, it may promote the spread of tumor tissue; If the temperature of the tumor is too high, it may damage normal human tissue.
Fluorescent fiber optic temperature sensors play an important role in this process. The probe is non-conductive, and the probe made of glass and polymer is fully suitable for applications with strong magnetic fields, microwaves, and radio frequency currents, which can avoid high voltage applied to the patient causing electric shock and electromagnetic interference on measurement data. Fluorescent fiber optic sensors can monitor the temperature changes of tumor tissue in real time and accurately.

Probe Material and Design
The probe of the fluorescent fiber optic temperature sensor is made of non-conductive materials such as glass and polymer.
