Abstract
In this article, a fluorescence decay‐time thermometer using ruby crystal as the transducer material and carefully designed signal processing, with a light‐emitting diode source and solid‐state optical detection is reported. Results over a range to 170 °C are discussed with a standard deviation in the measurement, at best, corresponding to ±0.04 K, in laboratory tests.Keywords
