Optical fiber strain or bend sensors have been demonstrated for complex monitoring various structures especially in aerospace, marine civil engineering and especially in optical security systems. Optical fiber sensors based on Fabry-Perot interferometers and fiber Bragg gratings are useful for point or slow-multiplied sensor systems. Distributed optical fiber system based on Sagnac interferometers used of low or high-birefringence optical fibers as strain/bend sensing elements. Special optical fibers as four core single mode fibers in Mach-Zehnder interferometer system have been used. In all described cases the high influence of temperature on sensor characteristics is very important disadvantage at measurement systems. In this paper we describe fabrication and characterization of the new four core PCF index guided fiber designed for interferometric bend measurements.
