Experimental Qualification of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors for Temperature Monitoring in Laser Ablation

摘要

The paper discusses the main issues related to the usage of Fiber Bragg Gratings as temperature sensors when they are employed to monitor percutaneous laser ablation of tumors. After a description of the main problems related to this specific application, two different setups for the characterization and the qualification of these sensors are described and preliminary results are presented.
