title: Effect of filler metals on the temperature sensitivity of side-hole fiber.
abstract: Effect of filler metals (Bi, 80Au-20Sn alloy, Sn, and In) on the temperature sensitivity of a birefringent side-hole fiber was investigated. The temperature sensitivity of the fiber was found to increase by introduction of the filler metals and the sensitivity gradually increased with the increase of the thermal expansion coefficient of metals. The sensitivity was larger for the filler metals with the larger thermal expansion coefficient.
