Abstract :
An analysis, based on mode coupled equation, is presented of polarization effects in the Sagnac interferometer sensor for distributed detection. The Sagnac distributed disturbance location sensor with polarization controller is established. With a modified demodulation method, experiment results show the system´s sensitivity can be improved effectively.
