Abstract

Optical fiber measuring systems using an interferometer are disclosed. The measuring range of the system are extended by the use two wavelengths of radiation during the measurement. The phases of the light at each wavelength may be compared, or the radiation of one wavelength may be used to calibrate the radiation of the other wavelength.
