5. Phase modulator for fiber optic gyroscope

5.1 Fiber optic gyroscope

The latest example of a modulation component integrated into lithium niobate is the phase modulator for fiber optic gyroscopes.  . Optical gyroscopes have replaced mechanical gyroscopes in many situations. Laser gyroscopes are widely used in civil avionics, but fiber optic gyroscopes surpass all other systems in terms of their unique performance. Fiber optic gyroscopes are primarily rotation speed sensors. Assembled along three axes and combined with accelerometers...
