Abstract

Procédé et appareil qui utilisent la modulation de source spécifique et des détecteurs pour détecter une réponse qui transporte des renseignements relatifs à une matrice de réponse du système associée à chaque capteur dans un réseau de capteurs interférométriques et pour extraire une réponse de capteur d'une manière qui élimine l'évanouissement du signal induit par la polarisation et qui est insensible aux fluctuations de biréfringence de la fibre de plomb.
