Abstract
A simple high temperature fiber sensor is proposed and demonstrated. The sensor head is made of a short section of specialty double cladding fiber (DCF). The DCF consists of a depressed inner cladding which is boron (B)-doped silica. Through an evanescent wave, the cladding mode can be excited, and thus the transmission presents a resonant spectral dip. The high temperature sensing properties was studied according to the shift of the transmission spectrum shifts. With increasing the temperature from 28 °C to 850 °C, the resonant spectrum shifts to longer wavelengths. The sensitivity is 0.112 nm / °C.
