TempSens Fiber Optic Amplifiers

Multi-channel signal conditioner for temperature monitoring in MR environment


About the TempSens Fiber Optic Amplifiers

Multi-channel signal conditioner for applications using GaAs based fiber optic temperature sensors.

The TempSens is a multi-channel and easy to operate signal conditioner that is used with any of the GaAs-based fiber optic temperature sensors.

At the heart of the TempSens is the Semiconductor Band Gap (SCBG) technology which provides a mean for making accurate measurements of the temperature-dependent bandgap of GaAs crystal.

The TempSens is equipped with a large visible LCD and it comes with standard ±5 V outputs and a RS-232 communication port for real-time data acquisition. The TempSens can be controlled directly using the frontpanel keypad or remotely using the standard RS-232 interface.

With a ± 0.3°C accuracy or better (total accuracy including both signal conditioner and sensor errors from 20°C to 45°C) and 0.1°C resolution, the TempSens delivers the performances needed for a wide range of critical measurement applications.
