Real-time SAHS events detection system during sleep is proposed and investigated based on contact-free Mach-Zehnder Interferometer ballistocardiograph (MZI-BCG) senor, which is placed under the mattress. The breath activity influences the optical phase difference of the MZI which is demodulated with 3*3 optical coupler. In this paper, three SAHS events are successfully detected, including OSAS (Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome), CSAS (Central sleep apnea syndrome) and MSAS (Mixed sleep apnea syndrome). The proposed system is simple, cost-effective and non-invasive, which has great potential application in home monitoring
