Abstract
To suppress the beat noise of a low-coherence fiber interferometric system, noise constitutes in the system is analyzed and
an optical fiber filter is used in the experiment. Experimental result shows that, with a filter with FWHM of 4nm, the spectral
mismatch between test arm and reference arm decreases from 49 nm to 4 nm, so the beat noise in the recorded
interferogram is significantly suppressed and the visibility is also noticeably improved.
Keywords
