A photonic device has a substrate with one or more optical resonators having a first resonant frequency response relative to temperature and a different second resonant frequency response relative to temperature. A first waveguide optically couples a first light beam having a first frequency to a first optical resonator and a second waveguide optically couples a second light beam having a second frequency to a second optical resonator. An optical shifter may shift an optical characteristic of the second light beam. A detector converts output light from the photonic device into an electric signal having a characteristic indicative of a physical condition, such as temperature, of the photonic device. In some cases, output light from the one or more optical resonators is combined and a temperature of the photonic device is determined from a beat frequency in the combined light. One or more multimode optical resonators may be used.

The present invention discloses a method for measuring an actual temperature of a flame by using all information of a radiation spectrum and a measurement system thereof. The method includes: conducting more theoretical data processing by using energy level structure correction, wherein all information of the radiation spectrum can be used; and by way of a keyboard input manner or a data transmission input manner, acquiring an energy level structure correction parameter, and finally acquiring a more accurate actual temperature value of a measured flame. The method effectively overcomes a defect that the true temperature of the flame can be obtained by only conducting radiance correction through data processing with great calculations when adpted multi-spectral temperature measurement method. In the existing multi-spectral temperature measurement method at present, only information of several monochromatic radiation capacities in the radiation spectrum can be used; and in the method, information of all the monochromatic radiation capacities, thousands of monochromatic radiation capacities in general, in the radiation spectrum can be used.
