Temperature response of photonic bandgap fibers based on high-index inclusions

We observed spectral shifts for short heated lengths of photonic bandgap fibers based on high-index rods. Shifts are observed in even shorter lengths if the fiber is bent. Application as alternative distributed sensors is envisaged.
