The optical fiber probe has symmetrical structure, and the light source may be connected to any end of the optical fiber probe via optical fiber and the other end of the optical fiber probe is connected to the spectrometer. When the optical fiber sensing probe is in work, light emitted by the light source 1 reaches the capillary optical fiber sensing probe 3 of the side polishing structure through the light injection optical fiber 2, when the optical fiber sensing probe 3 is immersed in a solution, an optical signal is influenced by the solution to be measured, the modulated optical signal is transmitted to the spectrometer 5 through the light receiving optical fiber 4, and a result of the modulated optical signal is displayed in the computer 6.

The refractive index can be measured by calculating the relationship between the displacement amount and the refractive index variation amount of the two SPR peaks, and the calculation method is as follows:
