Linearity considerations in polarization-based vibration sensors.
In this paper, the characteristics of a polarization-based vibration sensor are theoretically and experimentally analyzed with a focus on its sensitivity and linearity. It is shown that this sensor can correctly recover the vibration frequency spectrum (i.e., with limited distortions) up to an acceleration of 140 m/s(2), with a sensitivity equal to 9.98 mV/(m/s(2)).
