To get a good signal at the sensor ΔL needs to impart a phase shift in the laser beam of φ radians. φ must be such that the intensity of the combined wave falls in one of the linear regions of Cos(t)+Cos(t+φ). 12Kareem
13Kareem
Small signal leads to low distortion Large signals will produce a frequency that is a multiple of the original. Differential measurement reduces distortions 14Kareem
