Research abstract
TDA Research Inc. (TDA) proposes to develop a high temperature fiber optic sensor.TDA will use a novel temperature sensing mechanism and extremely high temperature materials so that we can reliably measure temperature even under extreme conditions (>1600oC).Other high temperature sensing technologies have poor accuracy, require careful calibration, or are not very consistent.TDA's technology will be highly accurate, robust, and not require constant recalibration.Additionally, since it's a fiber optic based temperature sensor, it will also be resistant to corrosive environments and insensitive to electromagnetic interference.This technology is needed to measure the temperature of the exhaust gas from a jet engine for monitoring and control.In addition to this primary application, it can also be used in other high temperature and corrosive environments such as boilers, gasifiers, and natural gas power plants.
