Abstract

Femtosecond Infrared (fs-IR) laser written fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), have shown great potential for sensing in extreme environments. This paper presents the fabrication and deployment of two fs-IR laser written FBG temperature probes, for monitoring temperature gradients on the flame tube of a low emission burner, during a high pressure combustor test of an optically accessible combustor rig (OACR).

Results of this work include: contour plots of measured internal and exhaust temperature gradients, contrast of FBG measurements with thermocouple data, discussion of deployment strategies, as well as comments on reliability and other important considerations.
