A passive interferometric demodulation technique is described and experimentally demonstrated.This technique uses a piezo -electrically stretched coiled fiber as a phase shifter to drive the interferometer into two states with a 90° phase difference between them.The method exhibits good linearity, high sensitivity, and the potential for large dynamic range.The demodulation technique eliminates the phase tracker resetting problem encountered in active homodyne detection schemes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
