We demonstrate an optical fiber sensor that uses the orbital angular momentum of light in a polarization maintaining fiber to act as a temperature and force sensor. The polarization of the input light is shown to greatly affect the sensitivity of the sensor. In addition, we show how our sensor can be used to resolve the direction and magnitude of a force applied to a fiber.
