Abstract :
The paper reports on a differential birefringent fiber frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) Sagnac interferometer, which, due to the nature of differential structure, can automatically eliminate the unexpected non-reciprocal phase drift and make the resolution of the interferometer doubled.
