Abstract

In order to meet the practical needs of all-fiber conductivity-temperature-depth sensors with high sensitivity, compact structure, and easy packaging, this Letter uses a microfiber coupler combined with fiber loop (MCFL) reflective photonic device to conduct salinity, temperature, and deep sensing experiments. These MCFLs’ dynamic range and resolution of salinity, temperature, and depth can meet the requirements of actual marine environment monitoring. This structure opens up a new design idea for the practical research of microfiber coupler-based marine environmental parameter sensors.
