Description

Opsens’ OTG-MPK5 fiber optic temperature sensor offers the highest performances and robust packaging in the industry. The OTG-MPK5 sensor uses the well proven technique based on the temperature-dependent bandgap of GaAs crystal as the temperature transduction mechanism. Its small sensing GaAs crystal located at the tip of the optical fiber makes it convenient for tip measurement applications. The OTG-MPK5 temperature sensor is housed in a robust PEEK tube hence facilitates insertion and daily handling.

Combined with Opsens’ GaAs (SCBG) signal conditioning technology and with the inherent advantages of fiber optic, the OTG-MPK5 delivers unprecedented repeatability and reliability in the most adverse conditions such as high level of EM, RF, MR and microwave field environments.

The OTG-MPK5 is made with industry standard optical fiber and is compatible with all Opsens’ GaAs (SCBG) signal conditioners. This robust fiber optic temperature sensor is available with different optical cables and sheath options and is customizable according to customer specific applications or for OEM-type applications.
