Analysis of a Doubly Coupled Single Fiber Resonator.
Abstract
An analysis of a doubly coupled single fiber resoantor has been made. The addition of a second coupler to a typical single coupler resonator with less than 100 percent coupling is shown to greatly improve the finesse and sensitivity to fiber attenuation of the resonator. A simple method of achieving extremely high finesse with approximately 70 percent coupling is also shown. With typical fiber and coupler loss values from the literature included in the calculations, this device shows a minimum detectable signal on the order of 20 picometers as a microbend sensor and .17 microradians per second as a laser gyroscope.
