Abstract
A species of fiber-optic thermometer, employing input and output fiber-optics immersed in a given liquid partially filling a capillary, transfers a proportion of fiber-optic input light to the fiber-optic output as a single-valued function of temperature. This species can provide a miniature thermometer exhibiting high temperature sensitivity.
