Abstract

A novel pseudo working-point control detection scheme for interferometric fiber-optic sensors is reported. The principles are introduced in details. An experimental system, which interrogates an interferometric fiber optic hydrophone with this new method, is designed. The acoustic pressure phase sensitivity is about -162 dB re 1 rad / muPa over the frequency range of 20 Hz to 2.5 kHz with a fluctuation lower than plusmn1.0 dB, which accords well with the results obtained using the method of PGC demodulation. The experimental results prove this method is feasible. It has the advantages of no electric elements in the sensing head, the simplicity of signal processing and the wide frequency range of signal detection
