ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber temperature sensing device has a sensor body; a light source housed in the sensor body; a temperature measuring optical fiber disposed outside the sensor body and extended to a temperature measurement site, wherein, when a light is emitted from the light source into the temperature measuring optical fiber, Stokes light intensity and anti-Stokes light intensity of backscattered light generated in the temperature measuring optical fiber are detected to determine a temperature at the temperature measurement site; a reference temperature optical fiber disposed inside the sensor body; and a controller that is operable to control an output of the light source by monitoring Stokes light intensity and anti-Stokes light intensity of backscattered light generated in the reference temperature optical fiber.
