Utilizing the high birefringence and low-temperature coefficient of highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber (HiBi-PCF), a temperature-insensitive interferometer made from HiBi-PCF loop mirror (FLM) is achieved. For wavelength spacing 0.43 nm, variation with temperature only 0.05 pm//spl deg/C, transmission peak shift 0.3 deg/C demonstrated. The stability FLM improved dramatically when it uses HiBi-PCF, as compared to FLMs using conventional HiBi fibers.
