摘要：
We have measured the optical phase sensitivity of fiber based on poly(methyl methacrylate) under near-single-mode conditions at 632.8 nm wavelength. The elongation sensitivity is 131 +/- 3 X 10(5) rad m(-1) and the temperature sensitivity is -212 +/- 26 rad m(-1) K-1. These values are somewhat larger than those for silica fiber and are consistent with the values expected on the basis of the bulk polymer properties. (c) 2005 Optical Society of America.
