Though strain characteristics of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) inscribed in perfluorinated graded-index (PFGI-) polymer optical fibers (POFs) have been reported, their temperature characteristics have not yet been detailed. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the temperature dependence of the Bragg wavelength of a PFGI-POF-FBG. With increasing temperature, each peak of the FBG-reflected spectrum shifted to longer wavelength with different coefficients. The temperature coefficient of one of the clearest peaks was 0.09 nm/ºC, which was 8 times larger than those of FBGs in silica single-mode fibers and almost the same as those of FBGs in polymethyl methacrylate POFs. A temperature-independent but strain-dependent peak was also observed, which indicates the potential of discriminative sensing of strain and temperature.
