Abstract

A white-light interferometry-based high-resolution technique for strain measurement using an extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) and a compensating EFPI is demonstrated. The phase difference between the two white-light optical spectra is calculated by a Fourier- transform-based technique. From this phase difference, the difference in cavity length between the two EFPIs is calculated. This, in turn, is used to measure strain. A strain resolution of 8.27 × 10-3 νε is achieved.
