Some embodiments are directed to a multiplexed fiber sensor for a fiber optic hydrophone array, including a signal receiver configured to receive a signal from the fiber optic hydrophone sensor array and an interferometer. The interferometer is configured to produce a first signal component and a second signal component from the signal received from the hydrophone array, and also provided with a first polarisation controller configured to control the polarisation of the first signal component and a second polarisation controller configured to control the polarisation of the second signal component. A modulated carrier signal generator configured to generate a modulated carrier signal component based on the first signal component is also provided. A detector configured to output a demodulated output signal from the modulated signal component and the second signal component is included, wherein the modulated signal component and the second signal component output separately from the interferometer.

A multi-beam combining apparatus includes a phase shifting section, a superposing section, an observing section and a phase control section. The phase shifting section generates a plurality of phase-shifted laser beams by shifting the phase of each of the plurality of laser beams. The superposing section generates a plurality of superposed laser beam by superposing the reference laser beam and each of the plurality of phase-shifted laser beams. The observing section generates interference pattern data of a spatial interference pattern which appears when observing each of the superposed laser beams. The phase control section carries out a feedback control of the phase shifts in the phase shifting section based on the interference pattern data obtained for every superposed laser beam, and thereby sets the plurality of phase-shifted laser beams to desired states.

A system (100) for spatially addressing the synchronization of two light pulses (118, 120) having a respective wavelength. The system (100) includes two light sources (110, 114), each one generating one of the light pulses (118, 120) in response to receiving a respective source trigger. The light pulses (118, 120) are combined and then distributed in many light guiding elements (104) in which propagation at the first and second wavelength takes a different amount of time, the differences between the propagation times at the first and second wavelengths differing between the light guiding elements (104). The source triggers are separated from each other by a variable delay in order to cause simultaneous arrival of the first and second pulses (118, 120) at the output of only one of the light guiding elements (104).
