    Abstract: A sensor includes an airfoil body (104), a heater element (134), and a temperature probe (158). The airfoil body (104) defines a sensor axis, an insulating cavity (172), and extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge of the airfoil body. The heater element (134)extends axially within the airfoil body and is positioned between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the airfoil body. The temperature probe extends axially within the airfoil body, is positioned between the heater element and the trailing edge of the airfoil body, and is separated from the heater element by the insulating cavity to limit thermal communication between the temperature probe and the heater element. Gas turbine engines, methods of making sensors, and methods of thermally separating temperature probes and heater elements in sensors are also described.

    Abstract: A sensor assembly comprises a remote data concentrator (RDC) (14) and an optically powered transducer module (OPTM) (12). The RDC (14) transmits a first optical pulse including a parameter request signal along an optical fiber (16). The OPTM (12) is connected to the optical fiber (16), and comprises a photodiode (22), an energy storage device (30), a sensor (36), a processor (32), and a laser (24). The photodiode (22) receives the first optical pulse, and the energy storage device (30) is charged by the photodiode (22). The sensor (36), processor (32), and laser (24) are powered by discharging the energy storage device (30). The sensor (36) senses a parameter specified by the parameter request signal. The processor (32) generates a signal packet from the output of the first sensor (36). The laser transmits a second optical pulse including the signal packet along the optical fiber to the RDC (14).
