PURPOSE:To ensure accuracy by observing the light transmitting a temp. sensor with a spectrograph, by detecting the photoelectrically converted electrical signal on plural varying levels and by processing with an operation the rising point of the absorption end from respective position of the lowest wavelength side. CONSTITUTION:The temp. sensor 9 consisting of the semiconductor crystal of a gallium, arsenide, etc. is fitted to optical fibers 2, 4, the light transmitted from a light emitting element 6 is led to the sensor 9, the transmitted light is made spectra by a diffraction grid 15 and after its photoelectric conversion in time series by a CCD19 it is compared on two levels by two pieces of comparators 17-1, 17-2. The respective position of the lowest wavelength side is detected by the processing circuit to find the point where the transmitted light regarding the absorption terminal as a straight line is made in zero. A correct temp. measurement is thus enabled without causing the temp. errors even in case of the change of either the light intensity of light emitting element or the center wavelength.

Next, the operation will be explained.

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.
