Recent development of WDM fiber vibrometry

For the last few years we were elaborating the laser-fiber vibrometer working at 1550 nm. Our main stress was directed towards different aspects of research: analysis of scattered light, efficient photodetection, optimisation of the fiber-free space interfaces and signal processing. As a consequence we proposed the idea of a multichannel fiber vibrometer based on well developed telecommunication technique – Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). We present the results of a just finished project “Developing novel laser-fiber monitoring technologies to prevent environmental hazards from vibrating objects” where we have constructed a 4-channel WDM laser-fiber vibrometer.
