The present invention is suitable for the technical field of sensing, and provides an sensor based on laser, comprising a pump source, a common section, a reference section and a detection section, the common section is provided with a gain medium, and the detection section is provided with a sensing element capable of causing an optical path difference; the reference section and the detection section is connected to the common section though a first polarization splitting unit and a second polarization splitting unit; the common section is provided with an output unit or each of the reference section and the detection is provided with the output unit, the output unit is connected to a photoelectric detector through a light uniting unit; a polarization rotation unit is disposed between the light uniting unit and the output unit. In the present invention, a heterodyne interference is generated by the two lasers with different frequency, the amounts of physical quantities are determined by detecting the frequency difference; and because the frequencies of the laser oscillations are sensitive to the changes of the optical paths in the resonators, the sensitivity and accuracy of the sensor are high, and the two resonators of the sensor have common optical path, such that the sensor has good anti-jamming capacity and is suitable for measuring the small changes in a variety of physical quantities.
