    摘要: Fiberoptic sensors of various configurations are provided for measuring the magnitude of the electric or magnetic fields, and thereby the power, at local points within a relatively high-power electromagnetic heating environment such as occurs, for example, in a microwave oven or an industrial microwave processing chamber. Each type of sensor includes one element that is heated by either the oscillating electric or magnetic field, and an optical temperature measuring element positioned to be heated by the first element, its temperature being optically determined by an instrument to which an opposite end of the optical fiber length is connected.

    摘要: Several specific types of optical sensors capable of measuring temperature, pressure, force, acceleration, radiation and electrical fields, fluid level, vapor pressure, and the like, are disclosed, along with an electro-optical system for detecting the optical signal developed by the sensor. One such probe utilizes a convex shaped structure consisting of an elastomeric material attached to an end of an optical fiber, the elastomeric material being coated with a luminescent material, a combination that is capable of measuring both temperature and pressure. Such a probe is also specifically adapted for measuring surface temperature by making a good physical contact with the surface being measured. Another such probe utilizes a similar structure but of a non-elastomeric material for the purpose of detecting both temperature and either index of refraction or vapor pressure changes. Improvements in other existing sensors of a wide variety of physical parameters other than temperature are also described wherein temperature is simultaneously measured for correcting such physical parameter measurements that are affected by temperature variations.

    摘要: An optical temperature measurement technique that utilizes the decaying luminescent intensity characteristic of a sensor composed of a luminescent material that is excited to luminescence by a light pulse or other periodic or other intermittent source of radiation. The luminescent emissions of a preferred sensor exhibit an approximately exponential decay with time that is the average of a distribution of chemically reproducible crystallites and are repeatable with a high degree of accuracy regardless of excitation level or prior temperature history of the sensor.
