Abstract :
An all-fiber frequency-out sensing technique is presented. The key element is an optical fiber mechanical resonator. Measurement of its resonant frequencies enables a number of physical quantities to be determined. An optical-fiber resonant ring, that includes the fiber mechanical resonator, is used to detect the vibration through the induced phase modulation
