Problems solved by technology

However, on the one hand, the high-frequency component itself will affect the phase detection of the cosine wave (the position of the zero-crossing point changes); The electrical characteristics are equivalent to capacitance, and the voltage at both ends cannot jump, so the falling edge of the sawtooth wave cannot be infinitely short) and the elasticity of the optical fiber itself and many other factors, the frequency is variable, and it is difficult to filter out cleanly; and , when using a filter, in addition to affecting the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the output signal, it will also affect the phase-frequency characteristics of the signal at the same time, that is, the phase of the filter will be affected near the cut-off frequency, which is very important for relying on phase changes. It is very unfavorable for fiber optic sensors that measure changes in physical quantities such as stress or temperature
