The paper proposes a method for detecting small oscillations in the length of interference fiber-optic sensors, which makes it possible to compensate for the problem of slow drift of the working point with a remote sensor. The result is achieved by combining homodyne demodulation methods with a tandem low-coherence interferometer. Theoretically and experimentally, the possibility of detecting acoustic effects in the operating frequency band of 4 kHz with a sensitivity of up to 0.3 nm has been shown. Keywords: Homodyne demodulation, tandem low-coherence interferometry, Michelson interferometer, fiber-optic sensors. DOI: 10.61011/TP.2023.07.56634.78-23
