Abstract

See full text

There is provided a fiber optic sensor for sensing environmental effects on counterpropagating light beams in an optical loop by comparing the modulation of the light beams in an optical coil exposed to the environmental effects and comparison with a reference fiber shielded from the environmental effects. The counterpropagating light paths contain optical phase modulators for creating nonreciprocal phase shifts and may comprise elongated sections forming a long line array.
