The material in described reflection horizon is metal, alloy, organism, compound, oxide or above mixtures of material.
Temperature sensor is to utilize the temperature variant fluorescent characteristic of thermo-sensitive material to measure temperature.Can also add optical elements such as isolator, polarizer in the system light path.Light source 4 commonly used has mercury lamp, inert gas lamp for example xenon lamp, deuterium lamp, semiconductor laser, halogen tungsten lamp, according to the characteristics of luminescence of fluorescent material and the window ranges of optical waveguide (signal transmission fiber 8 and optical fiber beam splitter 5), select the suitable excitation source of wavelength, and select the color filter of suitable wave band for use.The optical fiber beam splitter is the 1X8 beam splitter, to the impartial beam splitting of incident optical power.The exciting light that comes from light source 4 becomes eight bundle equal strength light through optical fiber beam splitter 5 branches, a branch ofly suspend as redundancy, a branch of by the pilot signal of photodiode 3 reception conducts to light source, six bundles in addition are combined into the temperature-sensitive portion that exciting light Transmission Fibers bundle 7 shines sensor probe 6, parallel inciding on the concave reflection layer 11 converges on the fluorescent mixture 10 then and excites and make it luminous.The emission light of fluorescent mixture 10 part is by 11 reflection of concave reflection layer, and signal fluorescence entering signal Transmission Fibers 8 derives by spectral measurement module 1 and receives, and measures every responsive to temperature characteristic of fluorescence, for example the intensity of fluorescence lifetime, different fluorescence peaks etc.By control and the corresponding temperature of signal processing module 2 The Fitting Calculation, and the operation of whole system is coordinated in control.
As shown in the figure, six output optical fibres of 1X8 optical fiber beam splitter 5 are merged into exciting light Transmission Fibers bundle 7, and six roots of sensation optical fiber arrangements is in the border of signal transmission fiber 8, and the xsect at temperature sensor probe 6 forms the closely packed form of hexagonal jointly.Then, by confinement sleeve 9 these seven optical fiber are constrained in together.Binding effect depends on the internal diameter of confinement sleeve 9 and the tolerance fit of close packing hexagonal on the one hand, and in addition, silica gel, epoxy resin or other cementation of fissures agent can be poured in the gap in confinement sleeve 9.Like this, optical fiber head is fixed, store, transport, can not take place in the course of work each other displacement, reverse, distortion such as bending, thereby the transmission of light is reliable and stable.
The fluorescent mixture 10 fixing on the top of temperature sensor probe 6 contains the optical adhesive composition, therefore can stably be fixed on the end face of sensor probe.Therefore measure is to stablize repeatably.An exciting light part that is propagated into fluorescent mixture 10 by exciting light Transmission Fibers bundle 7 is absorbed and scattering by fluorescent mixture 10, and remaining part penetrates fluorescent mixture 10, is close to incide abreast on the concave reflection layer 11 on temperature sensor probe 6 tops.The exciting light that concave reflection layer 11 will penetrate converge in the fluorescent mixture 10 along temperature sensor probe 6 axis a bit, therefore can improve the absorptivity of 10 pairs of exciting lights of fluorescent mixture; The material emitted fluorescence also enters signal transmission fiber 8 after assembling simultaneously, so the signal fluorescence intensity is higher, can guarantee to measure precision.The material of concave reflection layer 11 can be used metal for example aluminium, gold, silver, titanium, chromium etc., or alloy such as stainless steel, also can adopt organism such as Teflon, can also adopt compound such as TiN, oxide, above mixtures of material, compound substance etc.Concave reflection layer 11 can process separately, by with the top that is fastened on temperature sensor probe 6 of confinement sleeve 9, connected mode can but be not limited to following mode: gluing, pressure drag weldering, soldering, fusion weld, spinning etc.Concave reflection layer 11 can be the form of reflectance coating or coating, is attached directly to fluorescent mixture 10 surfaces.
