A highly sensitive Fabry–Pérot interferometer (FPI) is fabricated via symmetric taper fiber cleaving and centered waist-inserted assembly, a design where geometric symmetry is fundamental to the sensor’s performance. The FPI is fabricated by simple and cost-effective techniques, including fiber cleaving, splicing, and tapering. Due to the ultra-long cantilever beam with an effective length of 2.33 mm and the ultra-short Fabry–Pérot (FP) cavity with an actual length of 13.98 μm, the sensor exhibits an ultra-high strain sensitivity of 544.57 pm/με in experimental results. The sensor boasts a small temperature sensitivity of 1.02 pm/°C and a cross-temperature sensitivity of 0.0019 µε/°C in the temperature range of 25–200 °C. Furthermore, the sensor has good stability and repeatability. Owing to the symmetry-enhanced design, simple fabrication process, high strain sensitivity, as well as a stable, linearly proportional response over an extensive strain regime, the device has large potential in various sensing applications.
