“…These sensors offer many advantages in comparison to standard discrete temperature sensors [5,6] including inherent immunity to electromagnetic fields and allowing remote, long distance temperature measurement in dangerous, radioactive and toxic environments [7,8]. In recent years, this type of system has been an intense area of research with the aim of enhancing the systems’ performance, whether by improving the spatial and temperature resolution [9,10,11,12] or maximizing the detection length [13].…”
