A dual spherical single-mode-multimode-single-mode (DSSMS) optical fiber temperature sensor based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) was designed and implemented in this paper. Theoretical and experimental results indicated that the LP01 mode in the core and the LP09 mode excited by the spherical structure were maintained and transmitted via multimode fiber and interfered at the second spherical structure, resulting in the interference spectrum. An increase or decrease in temperature can cause significant red-shift or blue-shift of the spectrum, respectively. The linearity of the spectral shift due to the temperature change is similar to 0.999, the sensitivity at 30 degrees C-540 degrees C is similar to 37.372 pm degrees C-3, and at -25 degrees C-25 degrees C is similar to 37.28 pm degrees C-1. The reproducibility error of this all-fiber temperature sensor at 30 degrees C-540 degrees C is less than 0.15%. Compared with the optical fiber sensor with a tapered structure and fiber core offset structure, this MZI-based DSSMS optical fiber temperature sensor has higher mechanical strength. Moreover, benefiting from low-cost and environmentally friendly materials, it is expected to be a novel micro-nano all-fiber sensor.
