Abstract

In this paper it is presented an all-fiber implementation of the hot-wire needle probe concept, widely used to measure the thermal properties of materials, particularly the thermal conductivity. It is based on the heating of a metal thin film deposited on the surface of the fiber induced by the coupling of laser light into the cladding via a long period grating, and determination, using a fiber Bragg grating, of the time dependence of the temperature of the surrounding medium at a fixed distance of the fiber. The medium considered in this research was the air and the results obtained indicate the feasibility of this approach and point out future developments.
