Abstract
The time constant for fluorescent decay of the red R lines of Ruby has previously been shown to be a monotonic function of temperature over a range of more than 200 °C. An optical thermometer using this effect has been constructed and has a resolution of ±0.3 °C. Improvements in digital signal processing may increase this resolution another factor of 16.Keywords
