COIL
Fiber coils form the heart of fiber optic gyroscopes. Two counter-propagating optical signals generate a phase difference inside the fiber coil proportional to the rotation rate that the coil experiences, a phenomena known as the Sagnac effect. The Sagnac effect is dependent on the length and diameter of the fiber coil. As the length or the diameter of the fiber coil is increased, the sensitivity of the FOG also increases.
