The embodiment shows that the naturally cured glue is used during packaging, the positions of the micro-bubble cavity and the single-mode fiber cone can be continuously adjusted to find the mode with better optical performance in the glue curing process, and the fixed position is kept unchanged, so that a larger broadening value can be obtained when the phase change process of the substance to be detected is detected based on a mode broadening mechanism, and the problem of sensitivity reduction caused by extra broadening due to instability of a coupling system formed by the echo wall optical microcavity and the coupling device is solved. In addition, the invention carries out sensing based on a mode broadening mechanism, and avoids environmental thermal noise and laser frequency noise compared with a common mode offset mechanism.
