ABSTRACT:
A new liquid-core fiber optic system adds a pump and a heat exchanger to flow the transparent liquid core through the optical fiber. Flowing the transparent liquid through the core of the optical fiber allows heating and cooling of substances in thermal contact with the optical fiber. The invention also includes measuring the temperature, strain or other parameters of the optical fiber at the same time as flowing the transparent liquid core.
