This paper presents a newly developed, laserbased, noncontact and remote temperature sensor suitable for high as well as low temperature measurements, which can be adapted to a commercial tensile testing machine equipped with an electrical furnace to monitor temperature. It can also be a miniaturized sensor for remote measurement of body temperature for biomedical diagnostics (e.g. as a sensor integrated into an endoscope to measure internal temperature during surgical procedure). The basic principle of the sensor is based on determining the changes occurring to a secondary speckle pattern generated by the scattered laser beam from a rough surface. In the present case a rough metal surface is used. As the surface of the metal plate changes due to cantilever action when exposed to heat, the resulting speckle pattern also changes. This change in the speckle pattern is computed by comparing it to a …
