The thermo-optical properties of passive silica optical fibers with a metal spiral applied on their lateral polymer surface are investigated. It is shown that the heating of these optical fibers by transmitted laser radiation due to microbending losses causes a change in their temperature and electrical resistance of the metal spiral. Based on this, a simple method for measuring and real-time monitoring the output power of fiber lasers is proposed. Keywords: fiber lasers, optical fibers, micro-bending losses, fibers with a metal spiral, optical power measurement. DOI: 10.61011/TPL.2023.07.56450.19601
