Abstract
A white-light interferometric extrinsic Fabry–Perot strain sensor that uses a multimode fiber is demonstrated. The Fabry–Perot cavity length is measured with the help of a Fizeau interferometer. The sensor is described, and some results obtained at this time are given. The strain measurements are absolute and perfectly linear, with a sensitivity of 0.25 micrometers per meter (μ∊). The design of a thermally autocompensated strain sensor is also presented.
