We propose a novel fiber chemical sensing system based on reflective Mach-Zehnder interference with temperature calibration for the measurement of Cd 2+ in aqueous solution. The sensing system has high measurement sensitivity of Cd 2+ with an estimated minimum detection limit of 4×10 -7 mol/L at a spectral resolution of 0.02 nm and with long-term stability. The fiber sensing head is prepared by coating a sensing membrane on a fused tapering single-mode fiber. The thiourea group of the sensing membrane has an effective combination effect on Cd 2+ . Disturbance from ambient temperature fluctuation on the measurement of Cd 2+ concentration can be eliminated with the fiber Bragg grating.
