A small optical fiber temperature sensor employing the fluorescence lifetime of Mn4+doped oxyfluoride germanate phosphor was presented and experimentally demonstrated, which has a fairly good temperature measurement precision. The performance of the fluorescent materials for temperature measurement was compared and analyzed. A small temperature sensing probe with a diameter of 1.8 mm was proposed. For the first time, the integrated tee-light-path structure was put forward, the transmission and separation of excitation light and fluorescence in only a single optical path was realized. Experimental results showed that standard deviation errors of 0.45 °C were obtained within the temperature range from 0 °C to 90 °C.
