The biconial coupling section central cone district minimum diameter of above-mentioned fused-tapered fiber coupler (2) is 5～9 times of fibre core diameter, and the long more sensitivity of length of biconial coupling section is high more, and its tensile elongation is 5～35mm.
Fine coupling mechanism (2) manufacture method of a kind of above-mentioned pyrometric cone type sensing the steps include: the preheating simultaneously of (1) two two optical fiber, and for reducing stress, the pre-time will be grown, and is 2～5 seconds; (2) two superimposed slow fused biconical tapers of the optical fiber that preheating is good, draw awl speed for (30～75um) * 2/Sec, awl district's minimum diameter is 5～9 times of core diameter, its tensile elongation is 5～35mm.
The present invention compared with prior art, have following conspicuous outstanding substantive distinguishing features and remarkable advantage: adopt fused-tapered fiber coupler among the present invention as temp probe, temperature variation around its awl district sensing, change its coupling effect, the splitting ratio of its coupling mechanism is changed, thereby detect splitting ratio and obtain corresponding temperature parameter by signal processing unit processes by detecting device.Because to utilize coupling principle, output signal is the splitting ratio of coupling mechanism, it changes irrelevantly with the light intensity of light path, so very strong antijamming capability is arranged, its coupling effect is to the unusual sensitivity of temperature variation, so temperature sensor has very high sensitivity.Knot of the present invention is simple, and fused-tapered fiber coupler is easy to manufacture, and cost is low.The present invention is suitable for requirement and temperature is carried out is accurately measured or the occasion of control, numerous areas such as for example industry manufacturings, properties of product detection, environmental monitoring, biological spirit and scientific research, and can be in real time, temperature survey in high sensitivity.
