The invention provides a
sapphire optical fiber temperature sensor using a separate type probe. The
sapphire optical fiber temperature sensor using the separate type probe is manufactured according to the following steps of: designing and manufacturing a probe
temperature sensing black body cavity, a
thermal insulation protective casing and relevant mounting accessories of a sensor based on specific conditions of a medium subjected to
temperature measurement; assembling a probe; designing and manufacturing a converter which includes a
light filter, a photoelectric switching circuit, a preposed amplification electric circuit, a two-stage amplifying circuit, an
analog signal conditioning circuit, a
voltage output circuit, a power
voltage stabilizing circuit and a
voltage switching circuit; finally connecting the probe with the converter by using a
quartz transmission
optical fiber bundle. According to the invention, the
black body cavity is separated from the
sapphire optical
fiber, the sapphire optical
fiber has no direct contact with the
temperature sensing black body cavity, and the sapphire optical
fiber is relatively far away from a high-temperature environment during the
temperature measurement, so that the sapphire optical fiber with the temperature lower than a degradation temperature thereof still can transmit
black body radiation signals normally when the temperature of the environment where the
temperature sensing black
body cavity is located is up to 2600 DEG C, and accordingly the upper limit of the
temperature measurement of the sensor is up to 2600 DEG C.
