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.

Provided are a temperature sensor and an active phase-shifted grating-based temperature sensing system, relating to a fiber sensing technical field. The temperature sensor comprises a pump laser, a wavelength division multiplexer, an optical detector and an active phase-shifted fiber grating with &#x3c0; phase shift. Pump light emitted by the pump laser enters the active phase-shifted fiber grating through the wavelength division multiplexer. The active phase-shifted fiber grating absorbs the pump light and emits laser light, which travels back through the wavelength division multiplexer and enters the optical detector. The optical detector measures output power of the active phase-shifted fiber grating, to analyze the power to obtain ambient temperature of the active phase-shifted fiber grating. Compared with wavelength demodulation based fiber grating sensors, this temperature sensor can obtain ambient temperature of the active phase-shifted fiber grating solely by analyzing output power of the active phase-shifted fiber grating measured by the optical detector.
