Abstract

See full text

A precious metal blackbody radiator fired on a silica or sapphire fiber is disclosed for use in an optical fiber thermometer. The fiber can be coated or uncoated. If a coated fiber is used, the fiber can be a silica or sapphire fiber, protected with an outer metallic coating, such as platinum, which may be electroplated over a thin electrically conductive film coated on the fiber. The blackbody radiator may be mounted on a first end of the fiber, and the fiber may have a second end terminating at a receptor apparatus. The blackbody may comprise semisolid platinum paste placed on a coated or uncoated fiber, dried, and fired over a flame or in a high-temperature furnace. The firing step causes strong adhesion of the blackbody to the fiber.
