      As(2)Se(3)-PMMA taper.

AB  - A temperature-insensitive strain sensor is proposed and demonstrated based on a 
      dual-core As(2)Se(3)-polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) taper. Longitudinal and 
      transverse forces on the As(2)Se(3) cores are induced by thermal 
      expansion/contraction of the PMMA cladding due to an order of magnitude 
      difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of As(2)Se(3) and PMMA. At 
      an optimal PMMA layer thickness, the wavelength shift caused by the thermally 
      induced forces on the refractive index of the dual-core fiber cores 
      counterbalances that caused by the thermally induced fiber length variation 
      leading to temperature-insensitive transmission. Temperature-insensitive strain 
      measurement over a temperature range from 30 degrees C to 40 degrees C is demonstrated in a 
      dual-core As(2)Se(3)-PMMA fiber with an As(2)Se(3) core diameter of 0.61 mum and a 
      PMMA cladding diameter of 34.4 mum. Thermally induced forces in hybrid fibers open 
      the path towards the realization of novel sensors and devices that are immune to 
      temperature fluctuations.
