Abstract
In this paper a low-cost interrogator for dynamic sensor applications is proposed. The scheme is
based on the edge filtering technique, where the slope of a resin based Fabry-Perot (FP) filter is used to
actively filter the power of a narrowband laser. The interrogator is composed of a laser, circulator,
photodetector, Arduino board and laptop. The system was first characterized and then, the measurement of a
pulse wave signal was performed by embedding the FP sensor in a 3D printed elastic membrane and reading
the signal through the proposed interrogator.
