ABSTRACT:
A method for damping an optical fiber on a bias optical phase modulator having two optical fiber leads comprises the steps of securing the bias phase modulator, applying a silicone or acrylate type of substance to an outward facing surface of the fiber wound on the bias phase modulator means, applying the silicone or acrylate type of substance on the two optical fiber leads for at least 0.5 inch (1.28 cm.) along each lead which is apart from the place where the optical fiber wound on the bias phase modulator, frequently brushing or smoothing out the applied silicone or acrylate type of substance until the substance beings to set, and drying the substance on the optical fiber until the substance is cured. The applied damping material significantly reduces an amplitude of a frequency caused by mechanical vibrations in a rotation sensor.
