title: Measurement of peak temperature along an optical fiber.
abstract: A multimode silica-clad optical fiber with a liquid silicone core was used as a distributed-line peak-temperature sensor over a temperature range from ambient to 1901C. The maximum error was 2C and was essentially independent of the length or position of the hot zone.
