Abstract
A turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustor section fluidly coupled to the compressor section, a turbine section fluidly coupled to the combustor section, and a drive shaft coupled to the turbine section and the compressor section. The turbine engine also includes a plurality of internal components coupled to one of the compressor section, the combustor section, the turbine section, and the drive shaft. The turbine engine also includes at least one micro infrared sensor coupled to at least one of the plurality of internal components. The micro infrared sensor is configured to detect a surface temperature of the plurality of internal components.
