D. Guillaumond et Jp. Meunier, Comparison of two flattening techniques on a double-pass erbium-doped superfluorescent fiber source for fiber-optic gyroscope, IEEE S T QU, 7(1), 2001, pp. 17-21
We experimentally compare the efficiency of two flattening techniques on th
e performances of a broad-band light source for fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG)
, The combination of a double-pass erbium-doped superfluorescent fiber sour
ce with a wavelength-selective reflector enables us to achieve the specific
ations needed for high-precision, navlgational grade FOG: output power > 18
mW, bandwidth of 30 nm, coherence length of 81 mum.
