Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Improving the phase sensitivity of the optical fiber Sagnac sensor is very important for accurately detecting weak signals of acoustic emission. Theoretical analysis shows that the initial phase of the sensor is π under ideal conditions, and the maximum phase sensitivity is obtained when the bias phase is π/2. In this work, an experimental system was built with an aluminum alloy plate as the experimental object. The initial phase of the sensor was modulated by a Y-branch waveguide, and the fitting curve of the experimental data was in good agreement with the curve of the numerical simulation. Moreover, our experiments show there was a single value for the bias phase of π/2, which significantly deviated from the theoretical value. The results show that the greatest phase sensitivity of the sensor not only could be increased by nearly nine times through modulating the initial phase, but also could suppress the harmonic interferences in the sensing system. This study can provide a useful reference for improving the phase sensitivity of the optical fiber Sagnac AE sensor in practical applications.
