Mach-Zehnder interferometer sensors fabricated with conventional nonpolarization-preserving fibers are subject to polarization fading caused by temperature variations and minor positional changes in the sensor. We calculate the probability of a given decrease in sensitivity and in signal-to-noise ratio due to fading assuming the polarization of the light in the signal and reference legs is uncorrelated and drifts randomly. The resultant reduction of the signal-to-noise ratio may exceed 10 dB 10 percent of the time and exceed 20 dB more than 2 percent of the time.
