FIBER-OPTIC MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND METHODS BASED ON ULTRA-SHORT CAVITY LENGTH FABRY-PEROT SENSORS AND LOW RESOLUTION SPECTRUM ANALYSIS

摘要

An optical system having an optical sensor with an ultra-short FP cavity, and a low-resolution optical interrogation system coupled to the optical sensor and operational to send light signals and receive light signals to and from the optical sensor is disclosed. The optical system may operate in a wavelength range including the visible and near-infrared range. Methods of interrogating optical sensors are provided, as are numerous other aspects.
