title = "Creation of a microstructured polymer optical fiber with UV Bragg grating inscription for the detection of extensions at temperatures up to 125°C",
abstract = "We describe the fabrication of a polycarbonate (PC) micro-structured polymer optical fiber (mPOF) and the writing offiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in it to enable strain and temperature measurements. We demonstrate the photosensitivity ofa dopant-free PC fiber by grating inscription using a UV laser. We further show that PC Bragg gratings can be extendedup to at least 3% without affecting the initial functionality of the micro-structured fiber. The response of PC FBGs totemperature up to 125°C is also investigated. Polycarbonate has good mechanical properties and its high temperatureresistancemight extend the range of application of polymeric FBGs.",
