Fabry–Perot optical binary switch for aircraft applications

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An optical binary switch for aircraft applications is demonstrated. A fiber Fabry–Perot interferometer (FFPI) bonded to a cantilever is used as the sensing element. A white-light interferometry system with two bulk Michelson interferometers sharing the same motor-driven translation stage is utilized to monitor the elongation of the FFPI. The system exhibits excellent linearity as a force sensor; the experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical calculated values. With a properly set threshold value, the system produces a binary output.
