Abstract
Systems and methods provide optical referencing in an optical system including a plurality of optical devices with variable perturbative drift rates. A method includes, subsequent to determining a tuning rate of one or more interrogator devices, which are tunable, and subsequent to locking the plurality of optical devices including the one or more interrogator devices, detecting a drift in spectrum of the optical system based on a perturbation; and tracking the drift based on variable perturbative drift rates of each of the plurality of optical devices which are each exposed to the perturbation.
