The detectors are classified as power detectors. What effect would that
have?

Power is a scalar and doesn't have a phase. If phase
is required in a power equation, it is normally the
phase between the associated voltages, e.g. the phase
used in the interference term in the irradiance equation
in optics is the phase between the (visible) E-fields.
I would assume the power detector phase convention would
be the same as in optics, but I'm not absolutely sure.
