Abstract

An infrared fiber optical temperature sensor (IFOTS) used for the measurement of induced electric currents caused by electromagnetic radiation in electroexplosive devices (EEDs) is presented. Features of the sensor include an infrared optical fiber that is immune to electromagnetic radiation, a probe assembly that eliminates any appreciable thermal and electrical loading of the EEDs bridgeware, a signal processing technique that enhances signals in the presence of noise, and a means of providing continuous and/or pulsed measurement of bridgeware temperature caused by induced electric currents
