title: Combination sensor for measurement of light and temperature.
abstract: This report describes light and temperature measurements made in a gel cell using a single probe. Glass pipettes were drawn to an outer tip diameter of 50 microns and a thermocouple was vapor deposited at the tip of the pipette. Direct absorption of light by the thermocouple produced near step changes in temperature proportional to the fluence rate of the light.
