    We propose a system of time-division multiplexing (TDM) and spatial frequency-division multiplexing (SFDM). Extrinsic Fabry–Perot interferometric sensors are applied to detect weak acoustic signals. The broadband source is employed, the light from it is modulated by a pulse signal sequence and is efficiently amplified by semiconductor optical amplifiers. Experimental results show that the equivalent noise pressure spectrum level is -97.2 dB re 1 rad/vHz below 1250 Hz, and the cross talk between two sensors in one TDM channel is -32.7 dB with a cavity length difference of 60 μm. The number of sensors in this multiplexing system can theoretically reach 160.
