Article Abstract
We analyze a Michelson interferometer with Bessel-Gaussian vortex beams, where acceleration of the reference frame perturbs the interference pattern of the two Bessel-Gaussian vortices with opposite topological charges. The reversal of topological charge in one arm is due to the vortex phase-conjugating mirror being composed of two double passes through the cylindrical lens. The tiny changes of the space metric are time dependent. The variations of the optical path difference induce rotation of the daisy flower interference pattern. The additional Fabry-Perot cavities in both arms of this vortex Michelson interferometer are shown to amplify the tiny changes of the optical path difference, thereby improving the overall sensitivity of the interferometer.

An interferometer used for displacement measurement is typically adjusted to the center or another appropriate point of the interferometer fringe as a working point to yield maximum detection sensitivity and linearity. The interferometer is prone to varying misalignment in the course of measurements, most noticeable due to thermal drift affecting the interferometer dimensions. We introduce an automatic correction mechanism based on a proportional/integral (PI) control loop to remove any error in the alignment of the fiber interferometer, specifically long-term drift.

Conventional RI sensors, based on interferometers, exhibit a nonlinear response, limiting their effectiveness for applications requiring consistent performance across a wide range of refractive index changes. The proposed configuration utilizes a Michelson interferometer and two long Bragg gratings to linearize the interferometer response, ensuring a constant figure of merit (FOM) across the entire range of changes in the cover medium's refractive index.

The sensor features a fiber sphere at the PMF end for improved sensitivity, achieving a curvature sensitivity of 34.8508 dB/m, a temperature sensitivity of 0.

It offers label-free high-resolution imaging capability. In the TIE, at least two intensity recordings are required for phase retrieval for which either the sample or sensor is mechanically displaced, which creates an error in computation.
