Abstract

Disclosed is a forward phase method using regular narrow line width CW laser, to cover the acoustic band with reduced processing speed, while tolerant laser frequency drift. A narrow linewidth CW laser is used to launch its power into an optical fiber at a transmitter side. At a receiver side, another narrow linewidth CW laser is used to coherently detect the received signal. The detected signal, which includes both X and Y polarizations, each having in-phase and quadrature to represent a 'complex' channel, are connected to an ADC's inputs. Signal processing following the ADC inputs and extracts the phase change of the acoustic band.
