When light of a supercontinuum light source enters the sensor through the optical fiber circulator, a part of light can be reflected from a first end face formed by the single-mode optical fiber and the open-pore capillary optical fiber, a part of light can be reflected when being continuously transmitted to the interface of the open-pore capillary optical fiber and the single-pore microstructure optical fiber, the light is continuously transmitted to the single-pore microstructure optical fiber, a part of light is reflected from the right end face of the single-pore microstructure optical fiber, and three beams of reflected light generate interference due to different phases. A shift in the interference spectrum can be observed when the refractive index of the microfluidic changes. The measurement of the microfluid is realized by utilizing the wavelength change of the wave valley/wave peak in the interference spectrum.

When light is emitted from the supercontinuum light source, the light reflected back through the three reflecting end faces interferes. The reflected light interference spectral intensity is:
