Interdigitated flame sensor, system and method
Abstract
A flame sensor for combustion flame temperature determination comprises elongated extensions that are positioned with parallel interdigitated longitudinal axis with respect to one another. An optical spectrometer comprises the sensor and a system comprises the sensor. A method for combustion flame temperature determination comprises obtaining a first photodiode signal and a second photodiode signal by using photodiode devices comprising photodiodes with elongated extending interdigitated digits. A method of fabricating a flame sensor for combustion flame temperature determination, comprises forming first and second photodiodes with elongated extending interdigitated digits.
