GaAs-based fiber optic temperature sensor (OTG-M3000)

OpSens’ OTG-M series (OTG-M170, OTG-M220, OTG-M360, OTG-M420, OTG-M600, OTG-MPK5, and OTG-MPK8) fiber optic temperature sensors deliver outstanding performance. These sensors use a tried-and-tested temperature transduction mechanism based on the temperature-dependent bandgap of GaAs crystal.

Due to the tiny sensor GaAs crystal situated at the optical fiber’s tip, it is suitable for tip measurement applications. Each variant of the OTG-M series has its own reaction time and sensor diameter (OD).

With the inherent advantages of fiber optic sensing, the OTG-M delivers unrivaled repeatability and dependability, even in the harshest of environments such as EM, RF, MR, and microwave field settings.

The OTG-M Series is built with industry-standard optical fiber and is compatible with all OpSens SCBG signal conditioners. This tiny and durable fiber optic temperature sensor is available with a number of optical cables and sheath choices and may be adapted for OEM or customer-specific applications.
