​Safe, sealed and accurate

-200 °C to 250 °C range

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology

Lake Shore FBT Series fiber optic sensors are designed for dependable temperature measurement in challenging operating environments.

To the inherent characteristics of optical fiber and Bragg grating technology (for safe, non-electrical sensing impervious to electromagnetic interference), Lake Shore has added its proven expertise in sensor packaging, intimate knowledge of extreme applications, and long-standing reputation for accurate, reliable metrology.

The result is a new fiber optic wide-range temperature sensor that provides unmatched convenience and applicability for researchers, aerospace and industrial users dealing with extreme environments.

  • The unique probe-style packaging is designed to make it much easier to place the sensor exactly where you want it, while still enabling the multiplexing and chaining capabilities of FBG-based sensors.

  • Fully sealed body, vacuum and high pressure operating capability and wide measurement range support the requirements of many aerospace, industrial, and advanced research applications.

For over 40 years, researchers and engineers have turned to Lake Shore for precision temperature sensing. Now Lake Shore Model FBT fiber optic sensors make it possible to achieve accurate, reliable measurement in the most demanding applications.
