Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for measuring a parameter includes: an optical crystal having an optical axis and configured to be disposed at a selected location; an optical signal source in optical communication with a surface of the crystal and configured to transmit an optical signal having an initial polarization to the surface, the surface configured to reflect at least a portion of the signal as a reflected signal; a detector configured to receive the reflected signal; and a processor configured to determine a polarization of the reflected signal and estimate the parameter at the location based on the polarization of the reflected signal.
