  • Abstract
    A coherence multiplexed sensing scheme for two-state sensors is demonstrated. The system uses conventional white light interferometry to resolve polarisation mode cross coupling sites along a highly birefringent bus fibre. The limitations of such a system, based on a multi-longitudinal mode laser diode source, are identified.
