And step three, putting the inscribed seed grating into a high-temperature tube furnace filled with argon, raising the temperature from room temperature to 600 ℃ at the temperature rise rate of 30 ℃/min for pre-annealing, and naturally cooling in the tube furnace after the pre-annealing is finished.

The working principle and the process of the invention are as follows: when the temperature sensor is placed at a temperature measuring position, the tail fiber 9 is connected to the transmission fiber, and when the temperature sensor is used, the light source emits light waves, and preferably a wide-spectrum light source with enough power is selected to ensure that a reflected signal has a good signal-to-noise ratio; the light wave enters the regenerated fiber grating 3 and then reflects back to the optical signal with the specific central wavelength, when the environmental temperature changes, the period and the refractive index of the regenerated fiber grating 3 change, so that the central wavelength of the reflected optical signal correspondingly changes, the reflected optical signal is transmitted to a wavelength discriminator or a wavelength analyzer through a 3dB optical fiber directional coupler, then photoelectric conversion is carried out through an optical detector, and finally, after analysis is carried out through a connected computer, the environmental temperature information around the fiber grating temperature sensor can be obtained.
