Abstract
A simple method has been developed for control and prevention of polarization fade on a single output lead from a remotely located fiber-optic interferometer. The method has been demonstrated using a fiber-optic Michelson interferometer. In contrast to a previously suggested method, only a single detector is required. The technique has application for passive, remotely located sensors. Extension to balanced homodyne detection schemes and coherent communications is discussed.Keywords
