Extremely high resolution fiber temperature sensor

A novel medical temperature sensor using two fiber Bragg gratings is presented. The experimental results demonstrate this sensor can employ as high as 0.01 degree(s)C resolution. It is expected that with interpolation, this sensor can achieve the resolution as high as 0.001 degree(s)C.
