This paper reviews the sensing principle, structural design, and temperature measurement performance of fiber-optic high-temperature sensors, as well as recent significant progress in the transition of sensing solutions from glass to crystal fiber. Optical fiber-based temperature sensors have played a crucial role in this decade to detect high fever and tackle COVID-19-like pandemics. This makes them suitable for use in space applications and hazardous environments such as high-voltage machinery (e., generators, motors, transformers), nuclear power. Traditional point sensors provide temperature data at a single location,limiting the ability to capture a complete picture of thermal distribution. This is where Sensuron's Fiber Optic Temperature Sensing Systems come into play.
