To solve the cavity interrogation problem of short cavity fiber Fabry–Perot sensors in white light spectral interrogation with amplified spontaneous emissions (ASEs) as the white light sources, a data processing method, using an improved elliptical fitting equation with only two undetermined coefficients, is proposed. Based on the method, the cavity length of a fiber Fabry–Perot sensor without a complete reflection spectrum period in the frequency domain can be interrogated with relatively high resolution. Extrinsic fiber Fabry–Perot air-gap sensors with cavity lengths less than 30 μm are used to experimentally verify the method, and are successfully interrogated with an accuracy better than 0.55%.

Polarized low-coherence interferometry (PLCI) is widely used for the demodulation of Fabry–Perot (F-P) sensors. To avoid the influence of noise and dispersion on interference fringes, this paper proposes a data processing method in which the wavelet tools are applied to extract useful information from the extremum locations and envelope center of the fringes. Firstly, the wavelet threshold denoising (WTD) algorithm is used to remove electrical noise, and the complex Morlet wavelet is used to extract the fringe envelope. Based on this, the envelope center is used to predict the extremum locations of the specified order in its adjacent interval, the predicted locations are used as references to track the exact extremum locations, and the middle location of the peak and valley values is obtained to demodulate the F-P cavity accurately. The validity of this demodulation theory is verified by an air F-P cavity whose cavity length varies from 17 to 20 μm. With a sampling interval of 30 nm, the experimental results indicate that the repeatability accuracy is higher than 6.04 nm, and the resolution is better than 4.0 nm.

Due to the soft and hard threshold function exist shortcomings. This will reduce the performance in wavelet de-noising. in order to solve this problem,This article proposes Modulus square approach. the new approach avoids the discontinuity of the hard threshold function and also decreases the fixed bias between the estimated wavelet coefficients and the wavelet coefficients of the soft-threshold method.Simulation results show that SNR and MSE are better than simply using soft and hard threshold,having good de-noising effect in Deformation Monitoring.

We describe the Fabry—Perot interfero-meter designed to study Earth’s upper atmosphere. We propose a modification of the existing data processing method for determining the Doppler shift and Doppler widening and also for separating the observed line intensity and the background intensity. The temperature and wind velocity derived from these parameters are compared with physical characteristics obtained from modeling (NRLMSISE-00, HWM14). We demonstrate that the temperature is determined from the oxygen 630 nm line irrespective of the hydroxyl signal existing in interference patterns. We show that the interferometer can obtain temperature from the oxygen 557.7 nm line in case of additional calibration of the device. The ob-served wind velocity mainly agrees with model data. Night variations in the red and green oxygen lines quite well coincide with those in intensities obtained by de-vices installed nearby the interferometer.

Herein, a processing method is proposed for accurate microdisplacement measurements from a 2D Fabry–Perot (F-P) fringe pattern. The core of the processing algorithm uses the F-P interference imaging concentric ring pattern to accurately calculate the centre coordinates of the concentric ring. The influencing factors of measurement were analysed, and the basic idea of data processing was provided. In particular, the coordinate rotation by the 45-degree method (CR) was improved; consequently, the virtual pixel interval was reduced by half, and the calculation accuracy of the circle centre coordinate was improved. Experiments were conducted to analyse the influence of the subdivision and circle fitting methods. The results show that the proposed secondary coordinate rotation (SCR) by 45 degrees method can obtain higher accuracy of the centre coordinate than the CR method, and that the multichord averaging method (MCAM) is more suitable for calculation of the centre coordinate than the circular regression method (CRM). Displacement measurement experiments were performed. The results show that the standard experimental deviation of the centre of the circle is approximately 0.009 µm, and the extended uncertainty of the displacement measurement in the range of 5 mm is approximately 0.03 μm. The data processing method studied in this study can be widely used in the field of F-P interferometry.

A white light non-scanning correlation interrogation system was proposed and built to interrogate absolute length of the air cavity of fiber-optic compound Fabry–Perot pressure sensors for the extraction of pressure value. By carefully choosing thickness range and tilt angle of the optical wedge used for cavity length matching, correlation interferometric signal of the basal cavity can be naturally filtered out. Based on peak positioning by Fourier transform, bandpass filtering in frequency domain, inverse Fourier transform back to time domain, envelope fitting and zero fringe finding through a gravity center method, cavity length can be determined with an accuracy of 0.04%. The system was used for the interrogation of a fiber-optic compound Fabry–Perot pressure sensor under different pressures. For a pressure range of 0.1~2.9 Mpa, the linear relationship between the air cavity length and the gas pressure imposed was successfully extracted.

Abstract. The data of compaction test is processed by use of numerical method and least-squares fitting method respectively through MATLAB software. After a simple comparative analysis of the two results, this paper aims to reach the conclusion that when the distribution of test data points consistent with the characteristics of soil compaction, it is better and more accurate to use numerical method.
