An interferometric sensing arrangement includes an interferometric sensor
having an optical path length that varies depending on one or more
physical parameters to be measured using the interferometric sensor. One
or more light sources are used to generate light at three or more
predetermined different fixed wavelengths. In a preferred example
embodiment, four fixed wavelength lasers are used to generate light at
four predetermined different fixed wavelengths. An optical coupler
couples the multiple wavelength light to the interferometric sensor, and
a detector measures an amplitude response of an interferometric signal
produced by the interferometric sensor. A controller determines the
optical path length based on the measured amplitude response.
