Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems provide temperature information for accurate thermal monitoring, fire detection, and condition assessment by utilizing standard fiber optic cables. Advances in optoelectronics and associated signal processing have enabled the development of optical fibre distributed sensors with maximum ranges of several tens of kilometres. The unique feature of a distributed temperature sensing system is that it provides a continuous (or distributed) temperature. Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) is a fiber optic technology that enables real-time, continuous temperature monitoring over long distances, used widely in applications like pipeline leak detection, power cable monitoring, and transformer temperature management.

This paper reports on our current sensor evaluation examining the performance of freestanding fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) at extreme temperatures. While the ability of FBGs to survive at extreme temperatures has been established, their performance and long term survivability. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have emerged as advanced tools for monitoring a wide range of physical parameters in various fields, including structural health, aerospace, biochemical, and environmental applications. They are easy to install, immune to electromagnetic interferences and can also be used in highly explosive atmospheres. A variation of the period of the grating inscripted in a fiber optic – induced by mechanical or thermal perturbation – causes a shift of the reflected peak wavelength, due to the related optical path length variation.

Fiber optic temperature sensors operate based on changes in light properties as it travels through the fiber. This article explores the structure, working principles, advantages, and disadvantages of Fiber Optic Temperature Sensors. Jose Miguel Lopez-Higuera: Handbook of Optical Fiber Sensing Technology, John Wiley & Sons, 2002. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of.
