An in-line one-fiber approach to realize simultaneous measurement of salinity and temperature is proposed. The sensor system, which consists of multiplexed polymer-coated fiber Bragg gratings, showed that the polyimide-coated grating responds to variations of both temperature and salinity, while the acrylate-coated grating is only sensitive to the environmental temperature. The experimental results indicated that the temperature sensitivity of the acrylate-coated grating in water was 0.0102nm∕°C for redshifted Bragg wavelength with increasing temperature, and the temperature and the salinity sensitivities of the polyimide-coated grating were 0.0094nm∕°C (redshifted) and 0.0165nm∕M (blueshifted), respectively, which are in excellent agreement with the theoretical analysis.
