    Abstract: Optical polarization-based devices and techniques are provided to enable low cost construction and easy signal processing to measure the light frequency via measurements of signals associated with a delay between the two orthogonal polarizations after passing through a DGD element and the retardation value of the DGD element without directly measuring the optical frequency. The optical detection may be designed in various configurations. In particular, for example, the optical detection may split the optical output of the DGD into two optical beams with two different optical detectors so that the final frequency information can be deducted into a pair of sine and cosine functions, such as a pair of sine and cosine functions of measured optical signal levels and the retardation value of the DGD element.
