Abstract
Two high temperature fiber optic based strain sensors have been developed for use
in a coal combustor environment. An intensity based sensor uses losses created
by longitudinal misalignment as a sensing mechanism and has a maximum
operating temperature of 700°C. An interferometric based sensor makes use of a
Fabry-Perot cavity created by aligning two fibers in a splice tube with a small gap
in between. The Fabry-Perot based sensors' maximum operating temperature is
950°C. Attachment methods and sensor design are discussed as well as the
presentation of results from in situ testing.
