Abstract (EN): In this letter, a new configuration for simultaneous strain and temperature discrimination is, presented using two concatenated high-birefringence (Hi-Bi) fiber loop mirrors. The first loop mirror includes a Hi-Bi photonic crystal fiber, while the second one contains a length of internal elliptical cladding fiber. It is shown that by monitoring the wavelength and optical power of one of the peaks of the system spectral transfer function, it is possible to obtain information that permits the simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature.
