Abstract
The subject area of fibre optic sensing is one in which there has been shown a very rapid expansion of interest over the last few years. Many novel techniques are appearing in the literature and some products are available to the industrial user. The background to fibre optic means of temperature sensing and some recent developments will be reviewed in this paper.
