    Abstract: Apparatus and method for optically measuring temperature by spectroscopically determining the temperature-induced changes in the wavelength spectrum of light interacting with a semiconductor temperature sensor. The method includes providing illumination from a radiant energy source with a broad wavelength spectrum, guiding the radiant energy to a remote semiconductor sensor, returning the radiant energy after interaction with the semiconductor sensor, and analyzing the returned wavelength spectrum to determine the temperature-induced spectral changes due to the absorption edge of the semiconductor sensor. One embodiment of the invention comprises a quartz-halogen lamp, an optical multiplexer, optical fiber lightguides, a gallium arsenide semiconductor sensor, a fast scan spectrometer, an analog to digital converter and a microprocessor for processing the information of the returned wavelength spectrum for determining and displaying the sensor temperature.

    Abstract: An optical fiber apparatus measures an external parameter, such as temperature, at any of a number of different locations using time-domain reflectometry techniques. Sensor devices, each comprising a chip or plate of ruby glass, are interconnected by optical fibers. A laser launches along the fiber string short pulses of light at a first wavelength on the absorption edge of the ruby glass and a second wavelength in the transmission region away from the edge. A timer controls sampling circuits to measure backscattered energy at each wavelength at spaced times corresponding to spaced points along the fiber on opposite sides of a selected sensor device. A processor calculates the absorption loss in the sensor device at each wavelength by comparing the backscattered energy from the two points on opposite sides of the device, and calculates the differential absorption loss by comparing the losses at the two wavelengths. Embodiments employing a wedge shaped absorber are used to measure displacement. Signal to noise ratio is improved by incorporating retroreflectors in the fiber lengths between sensor devices.

    Abstract: A fiber optical measuring apparatus in accordance with the invention utilizes the thermal shift of the absorption edge in doped insulators such as colored glass filters. A radiant energy source is operable in a first, normal mode for temperature measurement, and is selectively operable in a second mode for calibration purposes. In the first mode, the source emits light at a wavelength extending into the absorption edge, and in the second mode emits light at a wavelength removed from the absorption edge and at which transmission of the light through the sensing element is not affected by temperature shift. A reference photodetector coupled to the radiant energy source to receive light directly therefrom provides a correcting signal to correct for variations in source intensity. Means are provided for compensation for variations in the temperature of the source.
