“…A number of different strategies have been successfully applied in order to obtain feasible and reliable temperature sensing, e.g., by exploiting the temperature dependence of integrated systems and/or single elements based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), long period gratings (LPGs), Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity lasers, Sagnac loops, interferometers, off-set spliced fibers, etc . [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Intrinsic FP fiber-optic temperature sensors can be obtained by employing the variation with temperature of the reflectivity exhibited by a fiber splice.…”
