Abstract
In this paper we present a low-cost system for temperature measurement based on a fibre Bragg grating and a narrow
bandwidth fixed-wavelength laser. The system has been calibrated in the range 7 o
C ÷ 29 o
C, and tested in outdoor
conditions, exhibiting a maximum uncertainty of 1 o
C over a 3 days. This performance, together with features such as small
form factor and intrinsic fire safety, makes it a possible solution for continuous monitoring of cultural heritage infrastructures
and artifacts.
