This review is concerned with the physical problems of fiber ring interferometry which
underlies the fiber-optic gyroscopy harnessing the Sagnac effect. Locally reciprocal and …

The applications of optical fibre technology to laser velocimetry are diverse and often critical
to their successful implementation, particularly in harsh environments. Applications range …

The characteristics of a macrobending fiber used as an optical flowmeter are discussed.
When a liquid flows through the bending area of the fiber sensor, it will result to the variation …

Context. Several space missions that will use atomic clocks on board of an Earth-orbiting
satellite are planned for the near future, such as the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space …

A polarization phase shifting interferometer using a cyclic path configuration for
measurement of phase nonuniformities in transparent samples is presented. A cube beam …

The Sagnac effect [1] shows that in a rotating closed optical path, two counter-propagating
light beams take different time intervals to travel the path. For example, when the path …

The measurement principle, design and static calibration of a flow transducer for neonatal
ventilation is here described. The sensing element is constituted by an optical fiber that …

A high accuracy fluid flow measurement technique is described using bending loss of an
optical fiber. Modulation of bending loss of the fiber varies with drawing force of the flow …

An optical fiber-tip cantilever transduces flow rates to optical signal read-out. Optical fiber-tip
is attached with a Stainless-Steel strip to increases the bending force and elastic recovery of …

Magnetic field induced Sagnac interference was observed for the COOH modified iron oxide
magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) dispersed in water. The effect of cationic surfactants …
