Abstract
An apparatus (1) for measuring the temperature of an object (3) has a temperature sensor (5) with at least one optical fiber (7) and a temperature measurement system (10), wherein the optical fiber (7) of the temperature sensor (5) is supported by a support element (15, 17, 18). With this apparatus, the temperature even of smaller object (3) can be measured easily and accurately. A method for producing the sensor includes placing at least one optical fiber on an adhesive side of a first foil and then placing a second foil on the adhesive side of the first foil.
