Sensitivity analysis of extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer optical fiber sensor for Lamb wave detection

Structural health monitoring technology using Lamb waves for composite and metallic structures plays an important role in assessing the safety and the durability of the structures. As a good alternative to conventional piezoelectric transducers （PZT）, fiber optic sensors are being widely exploited for their sensing applications, including Lamb wave detection. In this paper, a theoretical analysis of optical fiber extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer （EFPI） sensor performance is made to establish a relationship between the parameters of an EFPI sensor and its output characteristics due to ultrasonic Lamb wave field. Numerical results reveal that the performance of EFPI sensor is mainly related to the directional angle of the sensor relative to the acoustic source and to the ratio of the gage length of the sensor to the Lamb wave wavelength. The obtained conclusions are useful for the precise measurement of Lamb waves using EFPI sensor.
