Abstract

See full text

Fiber optic waveguides exhibiting a blackout phenomenon can be used for temperature sensing. A temperature sensing waveguide can be used in such applications as maintaining a material within a selected temperature range, freeze protection viscosity control of liquids in pipelines, leak detection of cryogenic fluids, fire detection, application of heat-recoverable materials, battery charging, and fluid level detection. Novel waveguides exhibiting blackout at selected temperatures for use in these applications are described.
