The shape of the noise distribution suggests that noise in the filter wavelength dominates at frequencies above 100 Hz. The noise floor supports previous measurements of nanostrain resolution in this instrument. Significant improvement to the resolution of a sensor system based on this approach, therefore, will require low-noise drive voltages for the FFP (fiber Fabry-Perot filter) up to the limits of the digitization process.","PeriodicalId":147710,"journal":{"name":"2002 15th Optical Fiber Sensors Conference Technical Digest.

The optical electric field sensor (EFS) system is based on a Pockels cell. The light source, the detection unit, and the processing unit are made of electronic (and opto-electronic) components and are integrated in a single electronics module. Optical fibers effectively guide the light between the electronics module and the sensor-head in the high voltage environment and provide galvanic isolation between these environments.","PeriodicalId":147710,"journal":{"name":"2002 15th Optical Fiber Sensors Conference Technical Digest.
