Abstract
The modulation function for fiber-optic sensors based on coupling between fiber ends is studied for different fiber types and fiber configurations, including multiple fiber passes. Sensitivity aspects are evaluated experimentally and theoretically. It is shown that multiple passes in reality do not result in a significant sensitivity increase due to coupling losses related to fiber alignment and reflection loss.
