Latest Patents
Benedetto Troia holds a patent for an optical gyroscope. This invention describes a method for measuring angular velocity of rotation using a closed-path optical cavity. The optical cavity is designed to receive at least a first optical signal circulating as a cavity mode of predetermined orientation. An extractor in optical communication with the optical cavity is configured to extract a fraction of the circulating first optical signal. The amplitude of the extracted fraction increases as the resonance condition for the optical cavity is approached. The readout channel of the optical gyroscope includes an interferometric device that spectrally modifies the extracted fraction to produce a spectral Vernier effect. The difference between the free spectral ranges of the interferometric device and the optical cavity is larger than the associated spectral widths. Readout detectors are included in the readout channel to detect optical power levels of the spectrally modified optical signal, which allows for the determination of angular velocity.
