Abstract
This paper proposes a temperature sensor based on a side-hole fiber (SHF). The sensor is formed by single-mode fiber (SMF)-coreless fiber (CLF)-SHF-CLF-SMF fusion splicing. The SHF adopts the dislocation fusion splicing method to ensure that one air hole is exposed. Two different interferences form a superposition, making the response more sensitive. The experiment shows that the sensitivity during heating and cooling is 1.587 nm/°C and 1.681 nm/°C, respectively, in the temperature range of 25–45°C. The sensor has high temperature sensitivity, exhibits easy processing, is smaller in size, and has important research value for temperature monitoring in daily life and industrial production.
