Abstract
In this paper, we propose a polarization-insensitive temperature sensor using a thermo-optic effect of the upper and (or) lower cladding of a planar waveguide in contact with a side-polished fiber. A microscope cover glass with thickness of a 170 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ is adopted as an overlay waveguide because this waveguide opposes sudden temperature change and ensures polarization-insensitive responses. The measured polarization-dependence loss is less than 0.3 dB. The temperature can be detected as a result of the shift in coupling wavelength of the sensor. We investigate the shift in coupling wavelength as a function of the temperature variation with respect to the different thermo-optic coefficients of lower and upper claddings. We also show that the temperature sensitivity of the device can be easily controlled by the thermo-optic coefficients of lower and upper claddings of the overlay waveguide.
