In this paper, a novel inline optical fiber sensor for curvature and temperature measurement simultaneously has been proposed and demonstrated, which can measure two parameters with very little crosstalk. Two combinational mechanisms of anti-resonant reflecting optical waveguide and inline Mach-Zehnder interference structure are integrated into a 3 mm-long single hole twin suspended core fiber (SHTSCF). The 85 μm hole core gives periodic several dominant resonant wavelengths in the optical transmission spectrum, acting as the anti-resonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW). The modes in two suspended cores and the cladding form the comb pattern. Reliable sensor sensitivity can be obtained by effective experiments and demodulation. Through intensity demodulation of the selected dip of Gaussian fitting, the curvature sensitivity can be up to -7.23 dB/m-1. Through tracking the MZI dip for wavelength demodulation, the temperature sensitivity can be up to 28.8 pm/°C. The sensor is simple in structure, compact, and has good response, which can have a bright application in a complex environment.
