Abstract
A white-light fiber-optic interferometer working in the spatial domain, using a special three-peak-wavelength LED as a light source and one of the two arms of the Michelson interferometer as a strain sensor, is presented. Based on the Gaussian spectrum distribution function, a simple spectrum-decomposing method is used to describe the special three-peak-wavelength LED source. Experimental and theoretical analyses show that this special three-peak-wavelength LED source can be used in white-light interferometry to simplify the problem of central-fringe identification. A white-light Michelson fiber-optic strain-sensing system that uses a tapered cantilever beam is described. Experimental results show that the strain measured by the fiber-optic sensor is linear and always less than the surrounding matrix.
