Title

Effects Of Birefringent Fluctuations On A Fiber Optic Gyro.

Abstract

Fluctuations of the polarization of an optical wave in a Sagnac fiber optic gyroscope cause random variations in the output signal of the sensor which are indistinguishable from variations of the rotation rate. The random variations of the polarization of the optical wave are caused by random environmental changes in the fiber. It is the nearness of alignment of the input wave polarization that defines the limitations of the polarization preserving fibers to reduce erroneous signal fluctuations due to environmental variations.
