Fibre-tip displacement sensor using sinusoidal FM-based technique

Abstract
A frequency modulated dual-electrode DFB laser is used as the optical source for a sensor which is immune to polarisation and acoustic fluctuations affecting its fibre-optic leads. Detection of the quadrature components of the reflected signal allows unambiguous direction determination. A measurement accuracy of ± 20nm is demonstrated over a range of several millimetres.
