Development of an optical fiber-based interferometer for strain measurements …

Abstract In this paper, an extrinsic Fabry–Perot interferometer (EFPI) has been demonstrated for strain measurements. A monochromatic light source with a wavelength of 1310 nm is propagated into a single-mode fiber and then passed through the sensing arm. Approximately, 4 % of the beam is reflected off at the fiber end generating the “reference signal”, while the rest is next transmitte…
