Signal-processing algorithm for white-light optical fiber extrinsic Fabry–Perot interferometric sensors

Abstract

We present a novel signal-processing algorithm for single-mode optical fiber extrinsic Fabry–Perot interferometric sensors that can achieve both high-resolution, absolute measurement of the cavity length and a large dynamic measurement range simultaneously. The algorithm is based on an accurate model of the characteristics of a fiber-optic sensor that takes into account the phase shift that is due to the coupling of light reflected at the second surface to the lead-in fiber end.
