Fiber optic displacement sensor with subangstrom resolution

Appl Opt. 1990 Jan 1;29(1):16-8. doi: 10.1364/AO.29.000016.

Abstract

A simple Fabry-Perot interferometer that uses a singlemode bidirectional fiber coupler as a beam splitter is described. With light from a high stability He-Ne laser focused on the optic fiber, noise levels of 0.5-A rms equivalent reflector displacements were obtained in a bandwidth of 0.02-1 kHz.
