<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a temperature sensor having a simplified structure in which the high-precision sensor can be easily manufactured. <P>SOLUTION: A fixing member 3 is expanded/contracted with respect to the longitudinal direction, according to the environmental temperature. The incident light from a light source is projected to a mirror surface 13 provided to an end of the fixing member 3 from an optical fiber 7 fixed to the other end of the fixing member 3. The reflected light from the mirror surface 13 is made incident to the optical fiber 7. The environmental temperature of the fixing member 3 is measured, on the basis of the optical intensity of the reflected light. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
