Wavelength or light intensity demodulation method for a polarization maintaining fiber loop mirror (PM-FLM) sensor is not only expensive but also unsuitable for vibration monitoring. This paper studies the voltage demodulation principle and explores theoretically the influence of light source on the sensitivity. Then a PM-FLM sensor is applied to vibration monitoring. A low-power narrow-band light source reflected from FBG and a high-power laser light source are used respectively as input. The time domain voltage signals of vibration from a photo-detector are collected by a data acquisition card and converted via a fast Fourier transform algorithm. The experimental result shows that a PM-FLM sensor using a high-power narrow-band light source as input has a higher sensitivity to vibration than the one using a low-power narrow-band light source. In practical application, we can choose a high-power narrow-band light source as input to improve the sensitivity to vibration.
