Optical fiber waveguide sagnac interferometer. Phase 1: Multiturn one meter diameter, single mode
Abstract
A rotating ring interferometer was constructed using a 100 meters of single mode optical fiber wound on a crystal cylinder. A 20 inch diameter fiber interferometer gyroscope was built and its sensitivity was evaluated. Major noise sources were identified and improvements for the next phase of development were determined. The accuracy of .01 of a fringe can be improved to .0001 by the removal of the noise source.
