A novel technique for the transmission of optical length information using a low-coherence tandem interferometer and a single-mode optical fiber is developed. The optical path length with a step gauge in the first low- coherence interferometer is transmitted through the optical fiber to the second interferometer. The interference fringes containing the length information of the gauge are generated with high accuracy by compensating the optical path difference in the second interferometer.
