Abstract :
Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) offer innovative design and optical properties. In this paper, we measured the temperature dependence of a polarization-maintaining PCF based interferometer. The sensor head was fabricated by splicing PMPCF to single mode fiber (SMF) and temperature sensitivity of 15.4 pm/°C was obtained. The temperature measurements were carried out up to 1000°C.
