How do fluorescent fiber optic sensors monitor high temperatures?

What is the principle of using fluorescent fiber optic sensors to monitor high temperatures?
Fluorescence fiber optic sensors monitor high temperatures based on the stable dependence of fluorescence lifetime on temperature. This relationship is not affected by factors such as excitation light intensity, fiber bending, and joint loss. In this type of sensor, there are specific fluorescent substances, and the fluorescence lifetime of the fluorescent substances will change accordingly when the temperature changes. Kwa mfano, in places with complex working environments such as switchgear (high electromagnetic interference, high temperature, narrow space, Nk.), it is necessary to accurately monitor the temperature of key connection points to prevent overheating and arc accidents. Fluorescent fiber optic sensors can play a role. Traditional temperature sensors may have inaccurate readings due to electromagnetic interference, but fluorescent fiber optic sensors are not affected by such interference and are therefore more reliable in this environment.

What is the role of distributed optical fiber in high temperature monitoring?

 

How does the principle of distributed optical fiber ensure its effectiveness in high temperature monitoring?
The distributed fiber optic temperature monitoring device relies on Raman time-domain analysis fiber optic temperature measurement technology to achieve temperature monitoring function based on the backward Raman scattering effect: the interaction between laser pulses and fiber molecules scatters (where Raman scattering is due to the thermal vibration of fiber molecules), producing a Stokes light longer than the wavelength of the light source and an Anti Stokes light shorter than the wavelength of the light source. The intensity of the anti Stokes light signal is related to temperature, while the Stokes light signal is independent of temperature. From the ratio of the anti Stokes optical signal to the Stokes optical signal intensity at any point within the optical waveguide, the temperature at that point can be obtained, and then the optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) technology can be used to locate the hotspot, thereby achieving distributed measurement of the temperature field along the fiber optic cable.

What are the applications of distributed optical fiber in different high-temperature scenarios?

What is the principle and application of fiber Bragg grating temperature sensor?

What is the working principle of fiber Bragg grating temperature sensor?
Fiber Bragg Grating Temperature Sensor utilizes the inherent temperature sensing characteristics of fiber Bragg Grating for temperature measurement. When the measured temperature used for fiber Bragg gratings changes, it will cause corresponding changes in the n (core mode effective refractive index) and ∧ (grating period) of the fiber Bragg grating, resulting in a drift of λ B (wavelength of reflected light). Conversely, by detecting the drift of λ B, information about the measured temperature can be obtained.
