Abstract

This study proposes a method for interferometric fiber optic sensor readouts. The method utilizes the advantages of the active homodyne demodulation technique and low-coherence interferometry. The usage of the tandem low-coherence interferometer enables modulating the reference interferometer without any changes to the sensor. This achieves high sensitivity, high stability, and a wide frequency band. A sensitivity of up to 0.1 nm (RMS) in the frequency range of 5 kHz is demonstrated by detecting acoustic signals with a fiber Michelson interferometer as a sensor.
