Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...

Temperature Measurement Sites

Temperature Measurement Sites

A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Background:

Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPIs) are widely used in sensing applications.
Traditional FPI sensors can have limitations in sensitivity and range.
The Vernier effect offers a method to enhance sensor sensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and experimentally demonstrate an enhanced Vernier effect temperature sensor.
To leverage the Vernier effect by using two parallel FPIs with opposite thermal sensitivities.
To achieve high-sensitivity temperature measurement with a cost-effective and stable sensor.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of two FPIs: FPI1 using SMF, quartz capillary, and AB glue; FPI2 using a capillary filled with polyimide (PI) solution and SMF.
Parallel connection of FPI1 and FPI2 to create reference cavities for each other.
Experimental characterization of the sensor's performance in the temperature range of 40°C-58°C.

Main Results:

The sensor exhibited a high temperature sensitivity of -13.09 nm/°C within the tested range.
A high fitting coefficient of 0.9974 was achieved, indicating excellent linearity.
The sensor demonstrated good stability and repeatability.

Conclusions:

The proposed enhanced Vernier effect sensor effectively utilizes two FPIs with opposite temperature sensitivities.
The design is simple, cost-effective, and does not increase manufacturing complexity.
The sensor is suitable for high-precision temperature sensing applications.
