摘要：

In this paper, we report an optical fiber Sagnac interferometer (OFSI)-based temperature sensor constructed by a selectively filled polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF). The transmission spectrum of the OFSI is in sinusoidal form and is sensitive to temperature. Simulation results predicted a higher sensitivity by selective filling than nonselective filling. In experiments, we used an extremely low-cost process to realize the selective filling. A sensitivity of 2.58 nm/degrees C was achieved with an 11.7-cm-long PM-PCF. The sensitivity dependence on the infiltration length ratio was also investigated.
