Abstract: | We report linear polarization-insensitive detection of optical phase modulation in an adaptive interferometer based on transient two-wave mixing via dynamic population gratings in saturable Er-doped fiber (EDF). The proposed simple and robust configuration has an all-fiber design based on commercially available elements which makes it promising for applications in optical fiber interferometric sensors and coherent optical communication systems. The experimentally investigated single-mode polarization-maintaining EDF arrangement operated at 1492 nm and demonstrated efficient compensation of the polarization drifts below 100 Hz. |
