The present invention relates to a passive optical fiber grating underwater acoustic signal sensor and a manufacture method. Two cavity bodies being distributed by the central symmetrical way is arranged inside a polymer encapsulation body, the both ends of the cavity body are sealed, and an optical fiber grating is threaded through and fixed at the axle line position of the polymer encapsulation body. The polymer encapsulation body is a columnar body, the cross section of the cavity body can be circular, elliptic, quadrate or D-shaped. The manufacturing method is that firstly, a die is made according to the structure of the polymer encapsulation body, an optical fiber grating is fixed into the die, and then a polymer is heated to be the molten state and slowly poured into the die, finally the optical fiber grating polymer encapsulation body is arranged into a warm box to be solidified and aged. The present invention is characterized in that the sensitivity of the acoustic pressure is high, the passive optical fiber grating underwater acoustic signal sensor is three to four magnitude orders higher than the underwater acoustic sensor directly made of optical fiber grating, the characteristics of light mass, small structure, and high sensitivity are fully realized, thus the present invention has important application prospect in the underwater acoustic detection field.
