Low-coherence fiber-optic sensor ring network based on a Mach-Zehnder interrogator

Opt Lett. 2002 Jun 1;27(11):894-6. doi: 10.1364/ol.27.000894.

Abstract

A quasi-distributed fiber sensor system for smart-structure applications is proposed. The system is based on a fiber loop topology and interrogated by use of white-light interferometry. The results of preliminary experiments and a power budget analysis are presented.
