System and method of phase-locked fiber interferometry
Abstract
A system and method are provided for optical homodyne detection in an optical fiber interferometer. A detection signal is obtained by interfering an optical data signal with a phase-modulated optical reference signal. The modulator for the optical reference signal is phase-locked to an oscillatory modulation waveform. In embodiments, the modulator includes a piezoelectric element. In more specific embodiments, the modulator is a piezoelectric optical fiber-stretcher.
