Fiber optic temperature sensors

Fiber optic temperature sensors offer complete immunicty to FRI, EMI, NMR and microwave radiation. They are suitable for high temperature operating capability, they are intrisincaly safe and non-invasive in their use and designed to withstand corrosive or other harsh environments. The accuracy of all temperature sensors is +/- 0,2 °C with a response time of 2 seconds. The fiber optic sensors are suitable for various applications, depending on the size and coating of the fiber optic sensor, and they can be used in multiple environments: e.g. laboratory, microwave, medical, wood drying, transformer and process monitoring.

The sensors are also available with spiral wrap or protection tubes, depending op the application. And all fiber optic temperature sensors can be used with the fiber optic temperature signal conditioners in our programme. The fiber optic temperature sensors are non-conductive. They consist of an outer jacket made out of teflon and at the sensor tip a GaAs-crystal (gallium arsenide).

TS2 Fiber optic temperature sensor - COMEM
 

The fiber optic temperature probe TS2 was designed for a wide range of applications, especially for the use inside of generators, power transformers as well as bus bars, R&D and industrial applications.

It offers complete immunity  to RFI, EMI, NMR and microwave radiation – the best choice for all challenges.

The standard temperature sensor TS2 has a response time of 2s. With an standard deviation* of ±0.2°C it allows precise and repeatable measurements. The coating of TS2 temperature sensor is made of PTFE, the fiber tip has a diameter of 1.0mm and has a serial ST-connector. For mechanical stability and applications e.g. in oil special protective coatings and hoses are available.

The fiber optic probe TS2 consists of a PTFE protected glass fiber and a GaAs-Crystal (Galliumarsenid) at the sensor tip. It is totally free of metal and immune to RFI, EMI, NMR and microwave radiation – therefore TS2 probes are explicit suitable for the use in high temperature ranges (-200°C to +300°C) as well as in aggressive and rough test environments.

All fiber optical temperature sensors can be connected to the fiber optic temperature measurement devices (FOTEMP), delivers accurate and complete reliable, stable and repeatable values. Starting at a light wave length of 850nm GaAs becomes optical translucent. Since the position of the band gap is temperature dependent, it shifts about 0.4nm/Kelvin.

The sensor cable can be up to several meters and kilometers long without influencing the accuracy of the measurement result. Other sensor lengths and connector types are available upon request.

TS3 Fiber optic temperature sensor - COMEM
 

The fiber optic temperature probe TS3 stands for expanded flexibility with usual COMEM quality and is the best choice for application in RFI, EMI, NMR and microwave environments.

The fiber optic sensor TS3 guarantees exact temperature measurements within a range of -200°C to +300°C at a standard deviation* of ±0.2°C.  The jacket of the TS3 temperature probe consists completely of PTFE and ensures immunity to RFI, EMI, NMR and microwave radiation.

Unlike the  fiber optic sensor TS2, the T3 comes with the possibility of a customizable length of the probe tip from 10mm to 130mm. Thanks to their fast response time of 2s and a maximum diameter of 1.7mm the TS3 temperature probe is small enough to fit in even the thinnest openings inside a measurement environment to deliver reliable data in real time.

All fiber optical temperature sensors can be connected to the fiber optic temperature measurement devices (FOTEMP), delivers accurate and complete reliable, stable and repeatable values. Starting at a light wave length of 850nm GaAs becomes optical translucent. Since the position of the band gap is temperature dependent, it shifts about 0.4nm/Kelvin.

TS5 Fiber optic temperature sensor - COMEM


The fiber optic temperature probe TS5 combines high resistance with a minimal probe diameter – especially suitable for catheter applications within a modern animal health technology setup.

The fiber optic probe TS5 provides measurement data at the speed of light with a response time of 2s and a standard deviation* of ±0.2°C. The sensor tip with GaAs-Crystal (gallium arsenide) comes with a diameter of 0.55mm being the thinnest fiber optic temperature probe of the Optocon product line. Moreover TS5 offers a variable length from 10mm to 600mm. The small size of the TS5 temperature sensor enable for the usage in medical applications, e.g. animal body temperature monitoring – the needed requirements on flexibility are completely guaranteed.

Through its PTFE jacket it is completely immune to RFI, EMI, NMR and microwave radiation. All fiber optic temperature sensors can be connected to the fiber optic temperature measurement devices (FOTEMP) and provide accurate, reliable and repeatable data.
