Long‐term stability of meteorological temperature sensors

Tiny Temperature Sensors

Luis Carlos first realized he might be able to make a nanothermometer while developing light-emitting diodes more than 15 years ago. His team observed that lanthanide ions in the diodes reacted to changes in temperature by reliably shifting the color they emitted. Carlos, a nanomaterials scientist based at the University of Aveiro, immediately realized that these ions might have a destiny beyon...

Flexible Temperature Sensors on Fibers

The aim of this paper is to present research dedicated to the elaboration of novel, miniaturized flexible temperature sensors for textronic applications. Examined sensors were manufactured on a single yarn, which ensures their high flexibility and good compatibility with textiles. Stable and linear characteristics were obtained by special technological process and applied temperature profiles. ...

17 Fiber Optic Temperature Sensors

TRPV channels as temperature sensors.

The past year has seen a doubling in the number of heat-sensitive ion channels to six, and four of these channels are from the TRPV family. These channels characteristically have Q(10) values of >10 above the thermal threshold, very different from the Q(10) values of 1.5-2.0 seen in most ion channels. Cells expressing TRPV1 show similar temperature sensitivity to small capsaicin-sensitive nocic...

High temperature stability, low coherence and low relative intensity noise semiconductor sources for interferometric sensors.

We investigate self-seeded optical sources for interferometric sensing applications and show that they can, depending on optical filter bandwidth, provide high-output power, high wavelength temperature stability (<5 ppm/°C), low relative intensity noise (<-140 dBc/Hz) and low coherence lengths (<100 um). We characterize the key performance indicators for a range of optical filter bandwidths and...
