Abstract :
We demonstrate a significant reduction in delay sensitivity against temperature in optical fibres, using a novel tight jacketed fibre structure. This technique has the cabability of producing fibre in which the optical delay is insensitive to temperature. This has potential in the field of sensors and fibre devices.
