Abstract

In this dissertation, dual-polarization two-port IFOG is investigated, which breaks through the limitation of the conventional “minimal scheme.” This chapter introduces the research background and related researches of this dissertation. Basic theories of the interferometric fiber-optic gyroscope (IFOG) are reviewed, and then former IFOG designs considering dual-polarization operation are discussed. At the end of this chapter, the main contributions of this dissertation are listed.
