Abstract
An optical source () comprising: a first laser () arranged to generate a first optical signal () having a first state of polarization and a first optical frequency; a second laser () arranged to generate a second optical signal () having a second state of polarization, substantially orthogonal to the first state of polarization, and having a second optical frequency, different to the first optical frequency by a preselected frequency difference, Δν; a polarization beam coupler () arranged to combine the first optical signal and the second optical signal into a composite optical signal comprising both the first optical signal and the second optical signal having said substantially orthogonal states of polarization; and an output () arranged to output the composite optical signal ().
