Four-chanel interferometric fiber-optic sensing system is designed for accurate and reliable measurement of microdisplacement and pressure. The measuring system includes probes connected to the processing unit by the fiber optic cable and the computer for the data processing. High sensitivity of the system is provided by the Fabry-Perot interferometer used as a probe. The operation of the system is based on the straightforward detection and processing of the broadband spectrum of the light reflected from the probe. The spectral distribution unambiguously characterizes the value of measurement which is recovered by a proper processing technique.
