Feasibility and Error Analysis of Using Fiber Optic Temperature Measurement Device to Evaluate the Electromagnetic Safety of Hot Bridge Wire EEDs

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This work has merit and addresses an important topic. However,  the following items need to be addressed:

Comment 1:

pg. 10, lines 316-317
The authors state " the most advanced GaAs fiber optic temperature measurement device and the exposed bridge to form a exposed bridge temperature measurement system"

It is recommended the authors thoroughly describe the GaAs fiber optic used.  Is the fiber optic commercially available or developed internally? Beyond the sampling rate, what are the key features or considerations for selecting the fiber optic? What is the outer diameter and length of fiber?  

Comment 2:  1pp. 7-8 
Figures 5 and 6 should have higher resolution on the y-axis.  For example, every 50 units for Figure 5b instead of every 100 units.

Reviewer 2 Report

Th

The authors of the manuscript” Feasibility and error analysis of using fiber optic temperature measurement device to evaluate the electromagnetic safety of hot bridge wire EEDs” are proposed and experimentally realized the response function of the exposed bridge and exposed bridge temperature rise system of hot bridge wire electro-explosive devices through the Rosenthal's temperature rise equation and Laplace transformation. Some information must be addressed before publication.

1. Although it will not affect much for understanding, in the overall manuscript some typos need to be corrected or clarified before printing for publication (e.g. section 1: Introduction last paragragh, line 73 Check the punctuation error).
2. Can the authors add a reference here: the general pharmaceutical fuming temperature is less than 1000 ℃, so do not consider the change in the resistance of the bridge wire.
3. Can the authors explain: the bridge wire temperature rise reached a "dynamic equilibrium" state, this state does not mean that the bridge wire reached thermal equilibrium.
4. Check Figure 11 to follow the uniform font and text size over all figures in the manuscript.
5. It is appreciable if the authors tabulate the existing temperature measurement devices and the proposed scheme.
6. The authors said “this novel scheme can approach the temperature rise measurement value … the large difference in response time of the exposed bridge (1 ms) and the exposed bridge temperature measurement device (0.82 s).” According to the Eq. (26) in manuscript, the response time of the exposed bridge temperature measurement system is too long. Is it or not? If it is, is there any better way to solve this? If it is not, why?

It is a useful guide for the temperature measurement to evaluate the electromagnetic safety of hot bridge wire electro-explosive devices. This manuscript can be accepted for publication with some revisions.
