The paper deals with the overview of fiber optic methods suitable for temperature measurement and monitoring. The aim is to evaluate the current research of temperature measurements in the interval from temperature close to 0 up to 1000°C. Since the measuring chain is a functional combination of optical methods, optical fiber properties, and other photonic elements together with control electronic circuits, it is necessary to find a suitable compromise between the chosen measurement method, measuring range, accuracy, and resolution. Optical fiber sensors can be used in cases where standard electrical measurement methods cannot be used. These may be areas with high electrical and magnetic interference or critical areas. Therefore, there is intensive development of optical and fiber optic methods based on blackbody and greybody radiation, luminescence, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), and interferometers.

The article introduces the design of an optical-based sensor that measures automotive exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) over a wide temperature range. To measure temperature, we combined the luminescence method and the blackbody radiation (BBR) principle. We also developed our own measurement hardware that includes the means to process and evaluate the signals obtained for temperature conversion using optical methods for application in the target temperature range ( $-40\,\,^\circ \text{C}$ to 820 $^\circ \text{C}$ ). This temperature range is specified by the automotive industry according to current combustion engine designs and emission requirements, which stipulate accurate measurement of operating temperature for optimal functioning. Current measurement solutions are based on the thermocouple principle. This approach is problematic, especially with regard to electromagnetic interference and self-diagnostics, and problems also exist with the gradual penetration of moisture into the temperature probe under extreme thermal stress. The case study confirmed the full functionality of the new optical sensor concept. The benefit of the proposed concept is full compatibility with existing conceptual solutions while maintaining the advantages of optical-based sensors. The results indicated that a combination of the BBR and luminescence methods with a ruby crystal in the proposed solution produced an average absolute error of 2.32 $^\circ \text{C}$ in the temperature range $-40\,\,^\circ \text{C}$ to 820 $^\circ \text{C}$ over a measurement cycle time of 0.25 s.

This paper presents the construction of an innovative high-temperature sensor based on the optical principle. The sensor is designed especially for the measurement of exhaust gases with a temperature range of up to +850 °C. The methodology is based on two principles-luminescence and dark body radiation. The core of this study is the description of sensing element construction together with electronics and the system of photodiode dark current compensation. An advantage of this optical-based system is its immunity to strong magnetic fields. This study also discusses results achieved and further steps. The solution is covered by a European Patent.
