Fiber-optic thermometry based on temperature dependence of thermal radiation from Tm{sup 3+} ions was studied using Tm end doped SiO{sub 2} fiber sensor. Visible light radiation peaks due to f-f transition of Tm{sup 3+} ion were clearly observed at λ = 690 and 790 nm from Tm end doped SiO{sub 2} fibers sensor at the temperature above 600 °C. Thermal radiation peaks are assigned with f-f transition of Tm{sup 3+} ion, {sup 1}D{sub 2}-{sup 3}H{sub 6}, and {sup 1}G{sub 4}-{sup 3}H{sub 6}. Peak intensity of thermal radiation from Tm{sup 3+} ion increases with temperature. Intensity ratio of thermal radiation peaks at λ = 690 nm against that at λ = 790 nm, I{sub 790/690}, is suitable for the temperature measurement above 750 °C. Two-dimensional temperature distribution in a flame is successfully evaluated by Tm end doped SiO{sub 2} fiber sensor.
