In this paper, a novel sensitivity amplification method for fiber-optic in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) sensors has been proposed and demonstrated. The sensitivity magnification is achieved through a modified Vernier-effect. Two cascaded in-line MZIs based on offset splicing of single mode fiber (SMF) have been used to verify the effect of sensitivity amplification. Vernier-effect is generated due to the small free spectral range (FSR) difference between the cascaded in-line MZIs. Frequency component corresponding to the envelope of the superimposed spectrum is extracted to take Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT). Thus we can obtain the envelope precisely from the messy superimposed spectrum. Experimental results show that a maximum sensitivity amplification factor of nearly 9 is realized. The proposed sensitivity amplification method is universal for the vast majority of in-line MZIs. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
