Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) is one of the four efficient ways of assistant heating on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) device. Measures have been taken to ensure more reliable monitoring of NBI components' thermal data. Infrared thermometers, unlike surface-mounted thermocouples, have the advantage of non-contact and thus will not cause interference and get far less chance of malfunctioning [Childs et al., Rev Sci. Instruments 71, 2959-2978 (2000)]. In this paper, the remote infrared temperature measurement with optical fiber is reported to meet the requirement of the EAST-NBI diagnostic system. Some tests have been conducted on the remote infrared temperature measurement under the working condition, and an atmospheric propagation simulation was performed to estimate the atmosphere absorption. The results indicate that the detector's response is in line with the theory, and the atmosphere absorption within a certain wavelength should not be ignored. Temperature measurement error is within one percent at temperatures above 200 °C. So, for the temperature range of 200-600 °C, the remote infrared temperature measurement by the optical fiber can fully meet its expectation.
