A fiber optic sensor (FOS) based on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) suitable for monitoring the liquid temperature is proposed and demonstrated. The sensor head was formed by a single mode–multimode–single mode (SMS) fiber structure through arc fusion splicing. The intermodal interference is achieved by two waist- enlarged tapers (WET) at the coupling points of the multimode fiber (MMF) and single mode fibers (SMF). The sensitivity of the sensor was determined based on the overlap distance for waist enlargement, tested in different temperatures of liquid. Five different overlap distances set in the conventional fiber splicer were 30 µm, 60 µm, 90 µm, 120 µm and 150 µm. The highest sensitivity of 0.0984 nm/℃ was produced by the SMS sensor with overlap distance of 150 µm. Such easily fabricated, cost-effective and temperature-immune fiber interferometer could be used for high temperature sensing applications. Manipulation of the overlap distance contributes to the advancement of the device.

Zaproponowano i zademonstrowano czujnik światłowodowy (FOS) oparty na interferometrze Mach-Zehnder (MZI) odpowiedni do monitorowania temperatury cieczy. Głowica czujnika została utworzona przez strukturę włókna jednomodowego-wielomodowego-jednomodowego (SMS) poprzez spawanie łukowe. Intermodalność intermodalna jest uzyskiwana dzięki dwóm zwężeniom powiększonym w talii (WET) w punktach łączenia włókien wielomodowych (MMF) i jednomodowych (SMF). Czułość czujnika została określona na podstawie odległości zakładki dla powiększenia talii, badanej w różnych temperaturach cieczy. Pięć różnych odległości nakładania ustawionych w konwencjonalnej spawarce włókien wynosiło 30 µm, 60 µm, 90 µm, 120 µm i 150 µm. Największą czułość 0,0984 nm/℃ uzyskał czujnik SMS z odległością nakładania 150 µm. Taki łatwy w produkcji, opłacalny i odporny na temperaturę interferometr światłowodowy może być używany w aplikacjach z czujnikami wysokiej temperatury. Manipulacja odległością nakładania się przyczynia się do postępu urządzenia.
