Abstract

A demodulation algorithm for Low-coherence Interferometry is proposed. The demodulation includes a Lithium Niobate wedge, which index is tunable via optics-electric property. This method is based on the theorem that second harmonic term is orthogonal with the fundamental term in Fourier transform. An alternative external electric field is imposed on the wedge and tune the position of Low-coherence Interferometry is proposed. For every point on the CCD camera, the variation of the detected light power is Fourier transformed and obtains the ratio between second-harmonic term and fundamental term. This paper demonstrate theoretically that proposed demodulation method can enhance the accuracy of pressure sensing for more than 35 times.
