Abstract:
A device may include a plurality of interferometers. The plurality of interferometers may include a parent interferometer, a first child interferometer coupled to a first branch of the parent interferometer, and a second child interferometer coupled to a second branch of the parent interferometer. At least one of the plurality of interferometers may be calibrated by maintaining collinearity of an output of the first branch and the second branch and using perturbation signals.

Claim (Index 17):
A method comprising:\n applying, by a device, a first perturbation signal to a first child interferometer and a second perturbation signal to a second child interferometer while maintaining collinearity of an output of the first child interferometer and an output of the second child interferometer,\n wherein the first child interferometer forms a first branch of a parent interferometer and the second child interferometer forms a second branch of the parent interferometer; \n wherein the first perturbation signal is orthogonal to the second perturbation signal; \n determining, by the device, values for an error function based on an output of the parent interferometer and based on applying the first perturbation signal and the second perturbation signal; and selectively adjusting, by the device, a characteristic relating to at least one perturbation signal of the first perturbation signal, the second perturbation signal, or a third perturbation signal for the parent interferometer based on the values for the error function to calibrate the first child interferometer and the second child interferometer.
