Inability to sample hot geothermal wells or to measure the chemical composition of hot brines limits our understanding of in situ conditions in geothermal fields. In this communication, we report preliminary results obtained with a temperature optrode to profile the temperature in a geothermal steam well. To our best knowledge, this is the first time in situ geothermal well measurements have been made with the use of a fiber-optic sensor.", pages = "430-435", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/sas/sas/1989/00000043/00000003/art00008", doi = "doi:10.1366/0003702894202922", keyword = "Luminescence, Fiber-optic sensors, Fluorescence, Spectroscopic techniques" }
