Abstract

This paper studies the use of MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) as a super-resolution algorithm to improve demodulation results for intrinsic Fabry–Perot interferometer (IFPI) sensor arrays. Through distinction between noise and signal subspaces in an observation matrix, this paper shows that a 38-fold improvement in the full width at half maximum (FWHM) estimation of IFPI optical path differences (OPD) can be achieved using this algorithm. Based on this improved method, this paper demonstrates that a tunable laser with a 1.3-nm tuning range can achieve the same sensor demodulation performance as a tunable laser with a 50-nm tuning range if a conventional Fourier transform-based algorithm is used. This paper presents a new approach to analyzing optical signals produced by multiple multiplexed interferometers with similar OPDs with potential applications for both single-mode and multiple-mode devices.
