Popis: In this paper, we propose a dual-fiberoptic Fabry–Perot interferometer (FFPI) sensing system integrated with a low-cost and low-coherence light-emitting diode (LED) as a light source to detect dynamic vibration caused by acoustic waves with a cut-off frequency of 200 Hz. When the acoustic signals are applied, the sensing FFPI on a Styrofoam sheet provides the function of partially transforming the longitudinal energy as the transverse energy generates a phase shift in the sensing FFPI cavity. The light reflected from the sensor is demodulated by the reference FFPI to extract the measurand. The low-power (sub-nW) optical signals are transferred into electrical signals, processed by a designed optical receiver, and recorded for data analysis.
