We have previously reported the development of a simple set-point temperature sensor based on the variation in intensity of monochromatic light transmitted by an optical fiber with a short section of modified cladding. In this paper we discuss the development of a wavelength dependent temperature sensor based on the extension of the previous results to include polychromatic light and wavelength dispersive effects.
