Here we report on a miniaturized optical interferometer in one fiber based on two mismatched nodes. The all-fiber structure shows stable performance of temperature and humidity sensing. For temperature sensing in large ranges, from 40 to 100 °C, the sensor has a sensitivity of 0.24 dB/°C, and the adjusted R-squared value of fitting result reaches 0.99461 which shows a reliable sensing result. With carbon nanotubes coating the surface of the fiber, the temperature sensitivity is enhanced from 0.24561 to 1.65282 dB/°C in a small region, and the performance of humidity sensing becomes more linear and applicable. The adjusted R-squared value of the linear fitting line for humidity sensing shows a dramatic increase from 0.71731 to 0.92278 after carbon nanotube coating, and the humidity sensitivity presents 0.02571 nm/%RH.

In this article, a method to improve refractive index (RI) sensitivity of single‐mode–no core–single‐mode fiber (SNS) sensor structure is addressed by optimization of geometric parameters of no-core fiber (NCF), which could be used to accurately measure the irreversible deformation of the battery expansion state caused by temperature change. From the perspective of temperature changing RI of the electrolyte solution, the impacts of diameter, length, and waveband on the performance of the fiber sensor have been discussed as RI measurement range is 1.340–1.390. After optimization, RI sensitivity can reach approximately 2,252.7 and 2037.3 nm/RIU with the length of 6.55 and 6.75 mm when the RI is from 1.380 to 1.390.
