A method for detecting small oscillations based on homodyne demodulation with a tandem low-coherence interferometer

The paper proposes a method for detecting small oscillations in the length of interference fiber-optic sensors, which makes it possible to compensate for the problem of slow drift of the working point with a remote sensor. The result is achieved by combining homodyne demodulation methods with a tandem low-coherence interferometer. Theoretically and experimentally, the possibility of detecting acoustic effects in the operating frequency band of 4 kHz with a sensitivity of up to 0.3 nm has been shown. Keywords:
