The event Web site at: http://www.pof2013.org.br/ .In this work, we report the results obtained during the photo-thermo-mechanical characterization of a PMMA-core plastic optical fiber (POF) through tensile tests. Simultaneous measurements of the received optical power and temperature variation during the deformation process are also reported, analyzing its viability as an intensity-based sensing system.5application/pdfeng© 2013 Plastic Optical Fiber Trade Organization.Atribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaPOF mechanical behaviorstrain ratestep-index PMMA-POFstress-strain performance.conference paperElectrónicaIngeniería IndustrialÓpticaopen access150155The 22nd International Conference on Plastic Optical Fibers (POF 2013): Proceedings2013CC/0000021978
