OpSens’ OTG-M Series fiber optic temperature sensors (OTG-M170, OTG-M220, OTG-M360, OTG-M420, OTG-M600, OTG-MPK5, and OTG-MPK8) deliver outstanding performance. The OTG-M Series temperature sensors use a tried-and-tested temperature transduction mechanism based on the temperature-dependent bandgap of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) crystal.
Due to the tiny GaAs crystal positioned at the tip of an optical fiber, this sensor type is useful for tip measurement applications. Each model of the OTG-M series is distinguished by its reaction time and sensor diameter (OD).
When paired with OpSens’ SCBG signal conditioning technology and the advantages of measuring with light, the OTG-M Series enables unparalleled repeatability and dependability in even the harshest environments, including high levels of 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 compact and durable fiber optic temperature sensor may be configured for OEM or customer-specific applications, and it is available with several optical cables and sheath options.
