Remote Passive Phase Sensor

Abstract

A new measurement technique for light reflected back from a Remote Passive Phase sensor is demonstrated, and extensions of the technique to multielement arrays of sensors are proposed. A pulsed light source and a two-beam compensator interferometer facilitate processing to derive a stable signal. Alternatively a continuous light source of low coherence length or a polarized light source may be employed in conjunction with the compensator.
