To improve a spatial resolution in temperature detection.SOLUTION: A temperature detection device 1 includes a temperature sensor 2. The temperature sensor 2 includes a light-emitting material 24 emitting light by reception of excitation energy and having an emission spectrum changing depending on a temperature, and a base material 23 to which the light-emitting material 24 is introduced. When viewed from a detection direction where the temperature is detected, a region where the light-emitting material 24 is introduced in the base material 23 is configured as a plurality of light-emitting regions 25 which is disposed apart from each other. In addition, the temperature detection device 1 includes a light detection unit 31 that detects light from the light-emitting material 24, and a control unit 32 functioning as a temperature detection unit that detects the temperature on the basis of the detected light.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】温度検出における空間分解能を向上させることができる。【解決手段】温度検出装置１は、温度センサ２を備える。温度センサ２は、励起エネルギーを受けることによって発光し、温度によって発光スペクトルが変化する発光物質２４と、発光物質２４が導入される母材２３とを備える。母材２３中に発光物質２４が導入される領域は、温度を検出するための検出方向から見て、それぞれ間隔を隔てて配置される複数の発光領域２５として構成されている。さらに、温度検出装置１は、発光物質２４からの光を検出する光検出部３１と、検出した光に基づいて温度を検出する温度検出部として機能する制御部３２を備える。【選択図】図１
