Problems solved by technology

This method of realizing light sensing by modulating the intensity of light has the advantage of being relatively simple and has relatively low requirements for light sources and electronic systems. For example, general light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can meet the requirements, but such systems also have some shortcomings. :
[0007]2) Since the sensitivity of the sensor using light intensity modulation is lower than that of other modulation methods such as optical phase modulation, the dynamic range is also smaller than that of the optical phase modulation system. Therefore, in the case of high requirements on sensitivity and dynamic range, the sensing technology with light intensity modulation cannot meet the requirements

Embodiment 1

[0032]The working principle of the present invention is like this: described optical fiber MEMS microphone probe 500 at least comprises a gradient lens (also called self-focusing lens) and a MEMS vibrating membrane with reflective area (or claims reflective spot), the exit of gradient lens The end face and the reflective area (or reflective spot) on the MEMS diaphragm are placed in parallel to form a laser Fizeau interference cavity. The gradient lens is used as a collimating lens for outgoing light and a converging lens for reflecting light from the reflective area (or called reflective spot) on the MEMS vibrating membrane. The outgoing end surface of the gradient lens is coated with a reflective film to reflect a part of the incident light as the reference arm (that is, the path that the optical signal does not contain the sensing information) optical signal, while the signal arm (that is, the optical signal that contains the sensing information) The length of the path trave...
