A formalism is presented for treating birefringence and polarization in fiber optic sensors. This formalism is applied to study theoretical characteristics of fiber gyroscopes which are operated with various states of polarization of the input light including nonpolarized and partially polarized light, which have potentially useful characteristics. Measurements supporting the theoretical predictions are described.
提出了一种用于处理光纤传感器中双折射和偏振的形式体系。该形式体系被应用于研究光纤陀螺仪的理论特性,这些陀螺仪在包括非偏振光和部分偏振光在内的各种输入光偏振状态下工作,具有潜在的有用特性。文中描述了支持理论预测的测量结果。
