White-light interferometric temperature sensor for biomedical diagnostic

摘要

A monomode and multimode fibre white-light interferometric temperature sensor for biomedical applications is presented. The sensor uses a low-finesse Fabry-Perot interferometer working in reflective mode. Dependence of material parameters on fringe visibility is discussed and both construction of the sensor has been optimized with respect to fringe visibility. This new sensor system is expected to be a practical approach for many medical applications.
