      Table 1. Summary of six demodulation methods for F-P ultrasound sensor

      MethodAdvantageDecotation ultrasound restrictionSceneFrequency range
      Working point control methodSimple system, fast demodulation speedDynamic range is limited, with poor robustness, and achieving rapid dynamic response requires an additional cost of hardware controlSlow change signal with less environmental interference700 Hz‒411 kHz31
      Double-cavity-length/double-wavelength methodDynamic range and demodulation accuracy, are high and highly robustIn order to maintain a strict phase orthogonal relationship, the stability of the light source is high requirements, and the appropriate fitting algorithm should be selected for the demodulation of the size signalsHigh-frequency scenarios with a large dynamic range and high robustness1 Hz‒100 kHz42
      Phase-generation carrier methodHigh precision and high robustnessSystem is complex, which requires stable carrier signal and requires high sampling rateHigh precision, high frequency, complex environmental noise scene50‒150 kHz44
      N-step phase methodDemodulation speed is fast, with high demodulation accuracy and large dynamic rangeWith the large calculation volume, the rapidly changing signal will reduce the time resolution, which requires the high frequency switching rate of the tunable laser and the good stability of the output light intensityHigh-precision, high-frequency measurement scene and complex noise environment1 Hz‒100 kHz53
      3 × 3 coupler demodulation methodHigh system stability and reliabilityThree times three coupler is asymmetric, high frequency large dynamic range signals require high sampling rate, sensitive to noise, and not suitable for weak signal detectionHigh stability and high reliability and demodulation scene100 Hz‒50 kHz54
      Spectroscopic transformation methodHigh demodulation accuracy and resolutionLarge computational amount and high cost of obtaining high-speed spectrumLow speed and low frequency scene20 Hz‒8 kHz61
