This diploma thesis deals with the issue of measuring the ambient temperature using a~single-mode optical fiber used as a temperature sensor. The thesis describes the basic knowledge about polarized light, its propagation in optical fiber and describes special fibers that preserve polarization. It also deals with the representation of polarization states on a Poincaré sphere and the use of Stokes and Jones vectors. In the practical part, several selected methods of optical signal supply to the temperature sensor are measured. Subsequently, the suitability of the given methods is evaluated from the measured results and the courses are compared with the records measured from real routes. This thesis aims to select a suitable connection of a temperature sensor for a long route of optical fiber and verify its functionality. |
