The system noise is measured to be 0.0005 dB, which makes it possible for the detection of the minor reflectivity change of the film at different temperatures. The temperature sensitivity is 0.0034 d B/℃, so the resolution can achieve 0.2℃. The maximum difference of the temperature output values of the sensor at 20℃ at different points in time is 0.39℃.
