    Abstract:
    A Mach-Zehnder interferometer for measurement of temperature is proposed and experimentally demonstrated, which consists of two sections of single mode fiber (SMF) and a section of thin core fiber spliced between the two SMFs. The two welding areas are heated and stretched to improve the split and recombination of light. The wavelength of the resonant dip will shift when temperature varies due to the thermo-optic and thermal expansion effect. The experimental results show that a temperature sensitivity of 65 pm/°C with a linear correlation coefficient of 0.996 can be achieved in a temperature range from 25 °C to 80 °C. Due to its ease of manufacture, low cost, and high sensitivity, the fiber optic temperature sensor is suitable for temperature measurement applications.
