A new approach using fiber-based Fabry-Perot interferometry for constructing highly resistant and highly accurate vibration sensors is presented. The application of a diode array makes it possible to acquire a multitude of interference signals which can be classified into pairs of signals fulfilling the quadrature condition. This approach reaches the sensitivity of single-mode optical fiber interferometers proposed in the past while providing a much higher signal accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
