Measurement of the silver freezing point with an optical fiber thermometer: Proof of concept

摘要

Measurements were made at the gold and silver freezing points to demonstrate the accuracy of the new optical fiber thermometer (OFT). It is shown that the output signal from the OFT is related to the radiance from a blackbody source in a simple manner and that the temperature interval between the gold and silver freezing points, as determined with the OFT, is close to other recent results.
