High-performance Ti-indiffused LiNbO3 multifunction chip for use in fiber optic gyros

摘要

Abstract: The performance of multi-function chips fabricated in Ti- indiffused LiNbO$-3$/ to operate at 1.3 $mu@m is presented. Achieved polarization extinction ratios exceeding 60 dB represent significant improvements over published data. Measurement techniques which isolate the various chip-performance parameters and interpretations of their influence on gyro performance are emphasized. !17
