Abstract
In dual Mach-Zehnder interferometer (DMZI) system, polarization induced phase shift (PIPS) leads to a big location error. Traditional approaches adopt polarization controller (PC) to eliminate PIPS by controlling polarization state (PS) of light source. Through establishing the influence model of input light PS and equivalent polarization parameters of sensing cable on interference signals, an approach using a simplified polarization controller (PC) to obtain high location accuracy is proposed. The simplified PC is composed of a polarizer and a fiber-fused half-wave plate and can provide a linearly polarized light with azimuth angle controlled. Simulation and experiment indicate that the proposed method and PC design not only has capability of eliminating PIPS, but also has the benefits of low cost and easy control.
