Popis: | It is demonstrated that reflection of a continuous-wave single-frequency laser radiation from a thick flat-parallel glass wafer can be used for precise remote measurement of temperature. Such measurement relies on the low-finesse Fabry-Perot nature of the dielectric wafer, whose optical thickness depends on temperature due to two characteristics of the dielectric material: the linear expansion coefficient and the thermo-optic coefficient. For the used glass wafer with a refractive index of 1.5183 and a thickness of 15.75 mm, the temperature distance between adjacent interference peaks was 1.4825°C, which made it possible to measure the temperature with a mean accuracy of 0.005°C. Performance aspects of the proposed temperature sensor and its practical applicability are analyzed. |
