ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber device with reduced thermal sensitivity comprises a first optical fiber arm having a first composite coefficient of thermal expansion and a first length and a second optical fiber arm having a second composite coefficient of thermal expansion and a second length. A ratio of the first and second lengths inversely matches a ratio of the first and second composite coefficients of thermal expansion to minimize thermal sensitivity in the device.
