Abstract:
An interferometric optical fiber sensor system comprises a light source, a first coupler optically connected to the light source, a first optical path for inputting measurement light, a second optical path for inputting reference light, a second coupler for combining the first and second optical paths together, a photodetector for measuring modulation of the measurement light and the reference light, and a coil for modulating with a stress exerted thereon the measurement light and the reference light. The first optical path has an optical length equal to that of the second optical path. The first optical path has a first delay line, while the second optical path has a second delay line. The coil is disposed between the first delay line and the second coupler and between the second delay line and the first coupler.
