An optical fiber sensing system for temperature and salinity synchronous measurement is provided, which includes a broad-spectrum light source, an optical fiber circulator, a coupler, a first interferometer, a second interferometer, a third interferometer and a spectrometer; the first interferometer is insensitive to temperature and salinity; the second interferometer is sensitive to both temperature and salinity, and the third interferometer is only sensitive to temperature; light emitted by the broad-spectrum light source passes through the optical fiber circulator and enters the first interferometer; reflected light of the first interferometer passes through the optical fiber circulator and the coupler sequentially, and then enters the second and the third interferometers respectively; the reflected light of the second and the third interferometers enters the spectrometer after passing through the coupler; the temperature and the salinity to be measured are simultaneously obtained by performing spectral analysis of the reflected light entering the spectrometer.

A fiber optic temperature sensor, a sensing head structure, and a manufacturing method are provided. The fiber optic temperature sensor includes a broad spectrum light source, a first fiber optic coupler, a spectrometer, a first sensing interferometer, and a second sensing interferometer. The first sensing interferometer and the second sensing interferometer have opposite temperature responses. A first free spectral range corresponding to the first sensing interferometer is close to but not equal to a second free spectral range corresponding to the second sensing interferometer. In the fiber optic temperature sensor, two sensing interferometers both sensitive to temperature are used, and the two sensing interferometers have opposite temperature responses, thereby achieving an enhanced vernier effect, and improving the sensitivity of temperature measurement.
