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.
