Multiplexed FBG sensor recorded in multimode microstructured polymer optical fibre [PDF]
Fibre Bragg gratings have been inscribed in multimode microstructured polymer optical fibre (POF), with a core size of 50μm. The microstructured POF (mPOF) consists of a three ring hole structure and is made purely from poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA ...

Polarimetric sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure and temperature in birefringent dual-core microstructured polymer fiber [PDF]
We experimentally characterized a birefringent microstructured polymer fiber of specific construction, which allows for single mode propagation in two cores separated by a pair of large holes. The fiber exhibits high birefringence in each of the cores as
