Abstract

As a preliminary step in the optical detection of an electrocardiogram (EKG), a piezoelectric tranducer (PZT) is used to displace the movable mirror of a Michelson interferometer with the same behavior of an EKG waveform. The resulting interferogram is obtained through simulations with synthetic EKG waveforms and through experimentation with actual EKG waveforms generated by a computer. A suitable reconstruction method is applied to retrieve the original waveforms from the interferogram.
