The event Web site at: http://www.pof2013.org.br/ .Influence of external media on a fiber-optic temperature sensor based on a macro-bend multimode Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) is analyzed. The sensor has a linear response with a sensitivity of 〖1.92.10〗^(-3) 〖(°C) 〗^(-1) at a fixed bend radius. 2.4 times sensitivity variations for different surrounding media are reported.5application/pdfeng© 2013 Plastic Optical Fiber Trade Organization.Atribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaPOF sensorTemperatureSurroundings mediaRefractive IndexIntensityBend LossMacro-bendconference posterElectrónicaÓpticaopen access249253The 22nd International Conference on Plastic Optical Fibers (POF 2013): ProceedingsCC/0000021979
