Algebraic cancellation of inter-channel cross talk in multiplexed heterodyne interferometry

We demonstrate the algebraic cancellation of residual phase cross talk in digitally enhanced heterodyne interferometry (DEHeI), a code division multiplexing technique for interferometric sensing. By using linear combinations of parallel decoding operations at multiple delays, we synthesize a zero correlation for spurious signals and remove phase cross talk: a method we call offset decoding. We experimentally demonstrate 70 dB of signal isolation...
