Abstract:
Multiplexed microvolt sensor systems and methods are described. An example system may include a pulsed light source, a first optical waveguide segment operatively coupled to the pulsed light source, an optical circulator including a first port, a second port, and a third port, the first port being operatively coupled to the first optical waveguide segment, a second optical waveguide segment operatively coupled to the second port of the optical circulator, and an array of sensor elements. Each of the sensor elements may include a detector and an electro-optical modulator, the electro-optical modulator being operatively coupled to the second optical waveguide segment. The example system may further include a third optical waveguide segment operatively coupled to the third port of the optical circulator, a compensating interferometer operatively coupled to the third optical waveguide segment, and a time division multiplexed demodulator operatively coupled to the compensating interferometer and the pulsed light source.
