GaAs-based fiber optic temperature sensor (OTG-MPK5)

The Opsens Solutions OTG-M Series fiber optic temperature sensors (OTG-M170, OTG-M220, OTG-M360, OTG-M420, OTG-M600, OTG-MPK5, and OTG-MPK8) deliver remarkable performance. The temperature transduction method of the OTG-M Series sensors is based on a tried-and-tested technology based on the temperature-dependent bandgap of GaAs crystal.

The small GaAs crystal located at the optical fiber’s tip simplifies tip measurement applications. The reaction time and sensor diameter (OD), which are specified in the specifications section, are the two elements that distinguish the OTG-M series models.

When paired with OpSens’ SCBG (Semiconductor Bandgap) signal conditioning technology and the benefits of fiber optic, the OTG-M Series provides unparalleled consistency and dependability in extreme conditions such as high levels of MR, RF, EM, and microwave field settings.

OpSens SCBG signal conditioners are all compatible with the OTG-M Series and built with industry-standard optical fiber. This compact yet durable fiber optic temperature sensor may be adjusted to match a range of OEM or customer-specific applications by using a variety of optical cables and sheath options.
