Often the selling points for these sensors are improvements in environmental ruggedness and safety, especially in areas where electrical discharges could be hazardous. One other area where fiber optic sensors are being mass-produced is the field of medicine [46–49], where they are being used to measure blood-gas parameters and dosage levels. Because these sensors are completely passive, they pose no electrical-shock threat to the patient and their inherent safety has led to a relatively rapid introduction.
1) and (2) that if R ( 1, then RFP ffi 2Rð1 þ cos fÞ ð6Þ TFP ffi 1 À 2Rð1 þ cos fÞ ð7Þ It should be noted that the concept of finesses is not intended to apply to FPIs with R ( 1. In fact, it follows from our definition of finesse and Eq. (2) that F ¼ 1 for R ¼ :172 and F is undefined for R < :172. The reflectance for a lossless FPI given by Eq. (1) is plotted as a function of round-trip phase shift in Fig. 2 for R ¼ 0:9 and R ¼ 0:05. The Copyright 2002 by Marcel Dekker. All Rights Reserved. 05. For R ¼ 0:05, two quadrature points corresponding to maximum sensitivity of RFP to f are indicated.
Figure 33 In the absence of compensating demodulation methods, the sensitivity of the Mach–Zehnder varies with the relative phase between the two light beams. It falls to low levels when the light beams are completely in or out of phase. Copyright 2002 by Marcel Dekker. All Rights Reserved. Figure 34 Quadrature demodulation avoids signal fading problems. The method shown here expands the two beams into an interference pattern that is imaged onto a split detector. Another approach has the same quadrature solution as the grating-based fiber sensors discussed earlier.
