Abstract

Optical-fiber-based measurements directly translate the physical quantities being detected into optical quantities such as optical intensity, phase, frequency or polarization by utilizing the characteristics of optical fiber. Intrinsic measurements, those that use optical fibers directly for measurement purposes, make the best use of the unique mechanical and optical properties of optical fibers and can capture very minute physical forces. Interferometric measurements, in particular, are very sensitive. The typical system consists of a light source, sensor head, interferometer and signal processing circuits. Although such components and related technologies have been intensively studied, further improvement is still desired in many respects. Toward this end, recently-developed optical-amplification techniques are expected to play an important role.
