商品簡介
After introducing the general principles of optical gyroscopes based on a recirculating Sagnac effect, the technical guide explains the solid state configuration of optical fiber gyroscopes, the reciprocity of a fiber ring interferometer, the behavior of polarization maintaining fibers, and closed-loop operation methods to linearize the scale factor. Extensive appendices review the fundamentals of optics, fiber optics, and integrated optics necessary for designing the fiber gyro. Originally published in 1993, the second edition adds sections on the transverse magneto-optic effect, four-state modulation, and compensation techniques for excess relative intensity noise.
