Abstract
A new interferometric setup using a 3 x 3 coupler and two Faraday mirr ors is presented. It has the advantages of being built only with passi ve components, of freedom from the polarization fading problem, and of operation with a LED. It is well suited for sensing time-dependent si gnals and does not depend on reciprocal or nonreciprocal constant pert urbations.
