Ring and Sagnac Loop based Fiber Optic Resonators: Applications in High Sensitivity Active Sensing

摘要

Two fiber optic resonant structures are modeled and analyzed using Signal Flow Graphs. These structures are used as an end mirrors in a fiber laser cavity which are investigated for its application as an active sensor. Comparison of both the structures as an active sensor has been carried out on the basis of sensitivity and dynamic range. This sensor may find application in active Gyroscopes.
