The classically defined minimum uncertainty of the optical phase is known as the standard quantum limit or shot-noise limit (SNL), originating in the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics. Based on the SNL, the phase sensitivity is inversely proportional to K, where K is the number of interfering photons or statistically measured events. Thus, using a high-power laser is advantageous to enhance sensitivity due to the K gain in the signal-to-noise ratio.

Optical interferometers are the main elements of interferometric sensing and measurement systems. Measuring their optical path difference (OPD) in real time and evaluating the measurement uncertainty are key to optimizing system noise and ensuring system consistency. With the continuous sinusoidal wavelength modulation of the laser, real-time OPD measurement of the main interferometer is achieved through phase comparison of the main and auxiliary interferometers.
