GaAs-based fiber optic temperature sensor (OTG-M170)

The OpSens OTG-M Series (OTG-M170, OTG-M220, OTG-M360, OTG-M420, OTG-M600, OTG-MPK5, and OTG-MPK8) fiber optic temperature sensors provide remarkable performance in the harshest and most limited environments.

The temperature transduction process used by the OTG-M Series sensors is a well-proven method based on the temperature-dependent bandgap of gallium arsenide (GaAs) crystal. The optical fiber is well-suited for tip measurement applications because it has a microscale GaAs crystal at the tip.

The reaction time and sensor diameter differ between each model in the OTG-M series (OD).

OpSens’ SCBG (Semiconductor Bandgap) signal conditioning technology and the advantages of fiber optic have been combined into the OTG-M Series. In the majority of adverse circumstances, such as high levels of RE, EM, MR, and microwave field surrounds, it provides unmatched dependability and repeatability.

The OTG-M Series sensors are compatible with all OpSens SCBG signal conditioners and are built with the best optical fiber available. This compact and reliable fiber optic temperature sensor is designed for OEM or customer-specific applications and offers a variety of optical cables and sheath choices.
