ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the field of devices for measuring a nonreciprocal effect and especially to the field of fiber-optic gyrometers. Disclosed a device for measuring a nonreciprocal effect comprising a light source, a monomode spatial filter, a Sagnac ring having two branches, a light splitter, and a light detector. The splitter is a polarization splitter. The filter is nonpolarizing. The detector includes a system for analyzing the polarization state. The light splitter devides the light over branches of the ring. The invention can be applied to other devices for measuring a nonreciprocal effect, especially fiber-optic magnetometers.
