In this paper we demonstrate the numerical and experimental investigation of the photonic crystal fiber selectively infiltrated with polymer material, that is a silicon oil DC-704. The results are compared with those obtained for fully infiltrated fiber. The influence of the infiltration on light propagation properties, as well as on temperature sensitivity of the fiber are also presented. The infiltration causes the formation of photonic bandgap effect, and in the case of full infiltration the bandgaps shift equal to 50 nm is observed due to the change in external temperature in the range of about 40°C (i.e. from 24 to 61°C).
