Abstract (EN):
An investigation is performed of the characteristics of the self-referencing intensity based Q-type fibre optic sensor using a recirculation loop structure. Both transmissive and reflective configurations are analysed. Via the definition of the measurement parameter (the R parameter) the linearity and sensitivity of the sensor are addressed. Theoretical and experimental results are compared, considering the problem of sensor design and optimization. © 1995 Taylor & Francis Ltd.
