Because of that, the capability of real-time temperature measurements at several points of the steel bars during the aforementioned production process is highly desirable in order to build a smart structure. To measure temperatures in the range of 800 - 1300 degrees centigrade, the sensor system proposed, is doted of new fiber optic transducers. They are based on the measurement of the optical radiation generated by the hot steel bars through a geometric cavity which is properly designed and fabricated to maximize its accuracy.}, publisher = {SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers}, publisher = {Proceedings of SPIE, 2001, vol. 4328, 106-113}, publisher = {Smart Structures and Materials 2001: Sensory Phenomena and Measurement Instrumentation for Smart Structures and Materials, Newport Beach, CA}, title = {High-temperature optical fiber transducer for a smart structure on iron-steel production industry}, author = {López Higuera, José Miguel and Madruga Saavedra, Francisco Javier and González Fernández, Daniel Aquilino and Álvarez Ortego, Víctor and Hierro, Javier}, }
