1.3-micron all-fiber passive optical rotation sensorAn all-fiber, 1.3-micron passive optical rotation sensor utilizing 4.2 km of single-mode fiber and synchronous detection has been constructed and tested in the laboratory. rms noise-equivalent rotation rates of 0.005 deg/hr have been measured. Drift and scale-factor variations resulted in a change in the indicated rotation rate of 0.4 deg/hr over a 1-hr time period.
