چکیده
A novel kind of fiber-optic gyroscope based on Rayleigh backscattering in a fiber-ring resonator is presented in this letter. The information on the rotation rate is obtained from the composed response of the fiber ring to an optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) instrument. The developed model based on the coherence properties of the Rayleigh scattering yields to a polarization-insensitive and low-cost gyroscope.

Bandwidth optimization of single-polarization single-mode photonic crystal fibers
We present an algorithm for computing single-polarization single-mode (SPSM) photonic crystal fibers with optimal bandwidth. Our approach is a topology optimization strategy based on convex conic optimization combined with a subspace method. The original problem of maximizing the bandwidth between the fundamental guided mode and the higher order unguided modes is reformulated as a problem of op...
متن کاملSurface nanoscale axial photonics: robust fabrication of high-quality-factor microresonators.
Recently introduced surface nanoscale axial photonics (SNAP) makes it possible to fabricate high-Q-factor microresonators and other photonic microdevices by dramatically small deformation of the optical fiber surface. To become a practical and robust technology, the SNAP platform requires methods enabling reproducible modification of the optical fiber radius at nanoscale. In this Letter, we dem...
متن کاملScale-factor-stabilized fiber-optic gyroscope by deep phase modulation.
A scale-factor-stabilized fiber-optic gyroscope by deep phase modulation is demonstrated. There are two servo loops included in this system. The first servo loop is used for stabilization of the light intensity output of the fiber-optic gyroscope. The second loop is used to stabilize the phase-modulation index. The third-harmonic frequency of the phase-modulation signal is used for detection of...
متن کاملBias drift reduction in polarization-maintaining fiber gyroscope.
The output signal of a birefringent fiber gyroscope is analyzed, and sources of error due to polarization cross coupling in the fiber and fiber components are identified. Techniques to suppress such errors by modulating the fiber birefringence and balancing the optical power in the two polarization modes are proposed and demonstrated.
متن کاملSensitivity Enhancement of Ring Laser Gyroscope Using Dielectric-Graphene Photonic Crystal
In a ring laser gyroscope, due to the rotation and the Sagnac effect, a phase difference between the two counter-propagating beams is generated. In this device, the higher phase difference between these two beams causes the better the interference pattern detection, and thus the sensitivity is increased. In this paper, the effect of inserting a dielectric-graphene photonic crystal inside a ring...
