Abstract

We have measured the optical phase sensitivity of fiber based on poly(methyl methacrylate) under near-single-mode conditions at $632.8 nm$ wavelength. The elongation sensitivity is $131 \pm 3 \times 10^{5} rad m^{- 1}$ and the temperature sensitivity is $- 212 \pm 26 rad m^{- 1} K^{- 1}$ . These values are somewhat larger than those for silica fiber and are consistent with the values expected on the basis of the bulk polymer properties.
