Abstract :
Describes an infrared fiberoptic radiometer which was used as a linear-feedback element for noncontact temperature control of a microwave heating system. The temperature of water was monitored and maintained at about 42°C with a standard deviation of ±0.15°C and a maximum deviation of ±0.45°C. This controlled system would be very useful for medical, industrial, and domestic applications
