An optical fiber inclination measurement apparatus and a differential inclination measurement system are provided, which is related to the field of monitoring technology. The apparatus includes a supporting mechanism with a base and a base frame, a swinging mechanism with a pendulum, a cycloid, and a first reflective film is disposed on the pendulum. The measurement mechanism includes a first optical fiber, and an end surface of the first optical fiber is disposed opposite to the first reflective film. During an earthquake generating process, a landform changes and the pendulum swings, resulting in changes in displacement. The end surface of the first optical fiber together with the first reflective film form a Fabry-Perot cavity. The cavity length of the Fabry-Perot cavity changes before and after the landform deforms, and an angle of inclination is equal to a value obtained by dividing the cavity length variation of the Fabry-Perot cavity by the pendulum length.

An optical fiber flow sensor, including: a housing, an elastic component, an optical fiber detection component, a floating element, and a fixed sealing joint. The elastic component includes a first and second elastic members that are symmetrical and are disposed in a closely fitted manner, with fitting surfaces of the first and the second elastic members being respectively provided with a corresponding seating groove. The optical fiber detection component is disposed in the seating grooves, and both ends of the optical fiber detection component are welded in the seating grooves via a glass solder. The elastic component is enclosed in the housing, and one end of the housing is fixed at the fixed sealing joint. The optical fiber detection component is sealed within the elastic component so as to avoid direct contact with an external fluid, and prevent damage by corrosion, hydrogen loss, or the like. The optical fiber detection component is welded to the elastic component via a glass solder, thereby avoiding a high-temperature creep deformation of the glue and thermal mismatch.
