Abstract
A temperature sensing and control method and apparatus. In one aspect of the present invention, an apparatus according to the teachings of the present invention includes an optical path disposed in semiconductor material, a grating disposed in the optical path, and a thermal probe including an optical sensor optically coupled to the grating to sense a spectral response of the grating. The thermal probe is adapted to determine a temperature of the optical path in which the grating is disposed in response to the spectral response of the grating.
