摘要
The main objectives of this study were to investigate the thermometric potential of Tm-doped optical fiber and yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) crystals for applications up to temperatures as high as 1300 degrees C, and to realize a prototype high temperature fluorescence fiber probe based on earlier Nd-doped fiber work for temperature measurement up to 750 degrees C. The research showed that the fluorescence characteristics of the Tm-doped YAG crystal were very stable at high temperatures and capable of providing a temperature measurement reproducibility better than +/- 6 degrees C over the region from room temperature up to 1350 degrees C.
