Fiber optic temperature sensor based on No-Core Fiber (NCF) for high temperature sensing

This paper proposes an improved fiber optic temperature sensor based on No- Core-Fiber (NCF) with sol-gel coating material for high temperature sensing. The main advantage of this sensor is the multimode interference (MMI) effect could react better to the changes of its surrounding compared with the...

description This paper proposes an improved fiber optic temperature sensor based on No- Core-Fiber (NCF) with sol-gel coating material for high temperature sensing.
