    • A distributed sensor system using pulsed optical signals optionally produced by a short coherence length source to provide a phase difference output signal representative of conditions affecting a selected sensor. In one preferred embodiment, an array of fiber-optic sensors are organized in a ladder configuration, with the sensors positioned in spaced relation and defining the rungs of the ladder. Light pulses transmitted through the sensors are multiplexed onto a return arm of the ladder. The multiplexed signals are received by an optical fiber compensating interferometer which coherently couples portions of adjacent multiplexed light signals to produce a phase difference signal representing conditions influencing selected sensors. In other preferred embodiments, the system is configured to define a plurality of adjacent Mach-Zehnder interferometers which provide output signal pairs which coherently couple to yield a phase difference signal directly representing the environmental effects on a particular sensor. Functional equivalents of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer configurations comprise configurations including adjacent Michelson interferometers. A phase and amplitude modulation technique is disclosed for providing heterodyned output signals from the distributed sensor system.

    • A technique and system for accurate determination of differential propagation delays in fiber-optic circuits. The method includes providing a sinusoidally modulated optical signal to each of two waveguides defining optical paths. The optical signals received from the optical paths are combined to form a reference output signal which has a null waveform whenever the propagation delay between the optical signals contains an odd number of half periods of the optical signal waveforms. The difference in the sinusoidal modulation frequency producing a first and second null or constant waveform in the reference signal is determined. This difference value between adjacent frequencies forming the null or constant waveforms comprises the inverse of the difference of signal propagation delay in the two optical paths. Accuracy is improved by measuring the sinusoidal modulation frequencies corresponding to first and second waveforms which are not formed by adjacent frequencies. The difference between those nonadjacent frequencies is divided by the difference in the reference waveform orders of the null reference waveforms to obtain the inverse of the differential propagation delay. Further accuracy is achieved by measuring at least one of the waveform nulls at a high waveform order. Still further accuracy is achieved by monitoring the reference waveforms on a network analyzer and using a frequency synthesizer to more precisely match and identify the modulation frequencies corresponding to the null reference signal waveforms. A system is disclosed for implementing this technique optionally using optical sources having a short coherence length. Mathematical relationships are disclosed for use with measured values in obtaining further improved accuracy.

    • A distributed sensor system including an optical source having a short coherence length for optionally continuously monitoring each sensor in the system. In one preferred embodiment, an array of fiber-optic sensors are organized in a ladder configuration, with the sensors positioned in spaced relation and defining the rungs of the ladder. Light transmitted through the sensors is multiplexed onto a return arm of the ladder, with sensor spacing being such that interference between light from different sensors is prevented. The multiplexed signals are received by an optical fiber receiver which couples the multiplexed light with an interfering optical reference signal to produce a phase difference signal representing conditions influencing selected sensors. Embodiments are disclosed for use of either pulsed or continuous wave light sources. In another preferred embodiment, the sensors comprise a plurality of interferometers connected in series configuration by a common optical fiber, which provides multiplexed output signals from the sensors to another plurality of interferometers comprising receivers. Functional equivalents of the series configuration provide sensors and receivers comprising birefringent or two-mode fiber. The optical path length differences between each pair of sensor arms are selected to prevent interference between the multiplexed sensor output signals from the various sensors. The optical path lengths through the sensors and receivers are structured so that each receiver produces a phase difference signal relating to conditions affecting light transmission through a specific sensor. A phase and amplitude modulation technique is disclosed for providing heterodyned output signals from the distributed sensor system.
