(fiber-optic ring interferometer)
1Fiber-optic communication — An optical fiber junction box. The yellow cables are single mode fibers; the orange and blue cables are multi mode fibers: 50/125 µm OM2 and 50/125 µm OM3 fibers respectively. Fiber optic communication is a method of transmitting information from …
2Fibre optic gyroscope — A fibre optic gyroscope (FOG) is a gyroscope that uses the interference of light to detect mechanical rotation. The sensor is a coil of as much as 5 km of optical fiber.Two light beams travel along the fiber in opposite directions. Due to the… …
3Sagnac effect — The Sagnac effect (also called Sagnac Interference), named after French physicist Georges Sagnac, is a phenomenon encountered in interferometry that is elicited by rotation. The Sagnac effect manifests itself in a setup called ring interferometry …

5Timeline of luminiferous aether — The timeline of luminiferous aether begins in the late 19th century with the concept of luminiferous aether ( light bearing aether ), or ether, as a medium for electromagnetic propagation. The aether was assumed to exist for much of the 19th… …
6IFOG — Ein Faserkreisel (engl. Interferometer Fiber Optic Gyroscope, kurz IFOG) ist ein Gyroskop, welches auf der Interferenz zweier gegenläufig in einer aufgewickelten Glasfaser umlaufender Lichtstrahlen beruht. Es dient der Messung von… …
7Inertial navigation system — An Inertial Navigation System (INS) is a navigation aid that uses a computer and motion sensors to continuously track the position, orientation, and velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a vehicle without the need for external references …
8Faserkreisel — Ein Faserkreisel (engl. Interferometer Fiber Optic Gyroscope, kurz IFOG) ist ein Gyroskop, welches auf der Interferenz zweier gegenläufig in einer aufgewickelten Glasfaser umlaufender Lichtstrahlen beruht. Es dient der Messung von… …
9Mode-locking — is a technique in optics by which a laser can be made to produce pulses of light of extremely short duration, on the order of picoseconds (10−12 s) or femtoseconds (10−15 s). The basis of the technique is to induce a fixed phase… …
