Abstract :
The pressure sensitivity of two photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) was measured. A PCF pressure sensor was then successfully developed with PCF PM-1550-01. The measurement results of the pressure sensor at three different temperatures are presented, and in the working region the maximum deviation is within 1% of the dynamic range of the sensor
