Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical (fiber) interferometer measurement, in particular to a phase demodulation device and demodulation method for suppressing light intensity fluctuation noise. Background technique [0002] Fiber optic interferometric sensors have the highest sensitivity and dynamic range among all fiber optic sensor types. The basic principle is to use the phase change in the interferometer to measure other physical quantities such as temperature, stress, displacement, acceleration, etc. The Phase Generation Carrier (PGC) algorithm proposed by the U.S. Naval Laboratory in 1982 is one of the most classic algorithms in the phase demodulation of interferometric fiber optic sensors. The PGC algorithm can be directly realized by modulating the light source, which ensures that the sensor has a compact structure and a small size. features. [0003] The traditional PGC demodulation algorithm process is to perform operations such as m...
