最低波長の位置を処理回路(18)で演算する。When the spectrum fiLEDt- of this light emitting element (6) is used, a normal distribution as shown in FIG. 5 is obtained. If the light absorption edge of the temperature sensor (9) is selected to be within this spectrum, the absorption edge will shift as shown in Figure 4 depending on the temperature at which the temperature sensor (9) is placed. The transmitted light has a spectrum shown by diagonal lines in FIG. Therefore, the light emitted from the optical fiber (4) is separated by a diffraction grating (15), each of the separated lights is photoelectrically converted by a photodiode array (16), and each comparator outputs at a certain level or higher in each array element.

are compared on two levels. By the way, if we consider the case where the light intensity of the light emitting element (6) changes, as shown in FIG. 2 (a) and (b), the temperature sensor (9)
In the shaded area showing the transmission spectrum of , the rise of the absorption edge (marked with an X in the figure) point Iri does not change. Therefore, if we detect the positions λ11λ2 on the lowest wavelength side at the two levels Ll and L2, and from these values, consider the absorption edge as a straight line and find the point where the transmitted light becomes zero, λ0
is determined, and this value does not change even if the light intensity of the light emitting element (6) changes. The above also applies when the center wavelength of the light emitting element (6) changes. Therefore, these calculations are performed by the processing circuit (20). This calculation can be easily performed by digital processing using, for example, a microprocessor.
