AB  - An ultracompact, cost-effective, and highly accurate fiber optic temperature 
      sensor is proposed and demonstrated. The sensing head consists of Fabry-Perot 
      microcavity formed by an internal mirror made of a thin titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) 
      film and a microscopic segment of single-mode fiber covered with 
      Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). Due to the high thermo-optic coefficient of PDMS 
      the reflectance of the fiber-PDMS interface varies strongly with temperature 
      which in turn modifies the amplitude of the interference pattern. To quantify the 
      changes of the latter we monitored the visibility of the interference pattern and 
      analyzed it by means of the fast Fourier transform. Our sensor exhibits linear 
      response, high sensitivity, and response time of 14 seconds. We believe that the 
      microscopic dimensions along with the performance of the sensor here presented 
      makes it appealing for sensing temperature in PDMS microfluidic circuits or in 
      biological applications.
