SENSING COIL FOR A FIBER OPTIC GYROSCOPE

摘要

A fiber optic gyroscope that includes an improved winding transition section otherwise known as a "jog zone". The improved jog zone reduces losses due to microbends and cross-coupling in the fiber optic coil. The reduced losses enable a more accurate measurement of rotation rate of the fiber optic coil, while minimizing unwanted phase-shifts that can cause false readings in the fiber optic gyroscope.
