ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus that uses specific source modulation and detectors to detect a response that carries information about a system response matrix associated with each sensor in a interferometric sensor array and extracting a sensor response in a manner that eliminates polarization-induced signal fading and that is insensitive to lead fiber birefringence fluctuations.
