    摘要: A method determines a distance with a specified accuracy. The method transmits to an interferometer a test signal oscillating with a test frequency and receives, in response to the transmitting, an interferometric signal formed by interfering the test signal with a delayed signal produced by delaying a copy of the test signal over the distance equal to a path length difference in the interferometer. The test frequency is varying such that the test signal oscillates with different values of the test frequency. The method determines at least two values of the test frequency corresponding to particular values of the interferometric signal by beating the test signal with a reference signal having a reference frequency, wherein a value of the reference frequency is an absolute value predetermined with the specified accuracy. The method determines the distance using the two values of the test frequency.

    摘要: A method for enhancing a sensitivity of an optical sensor having an optical cavity counter-propagates beams of pump light within the optical cavity to produce scattered light based on Stimulated Brullion Scattering (SBS). The properties of the pump light are selected to generate fast-light conditions for the scattered light, such that the scattered light includes counter-propagating beams of fast light. The method prevents the pump light from resonating within the optical cavity, while allowing the scattered light to resonate within the optical cavity. At least portions of the scattered light are interfered outside of the optical cavity to produce a beat note for a measurement of the optical sensor. The disclosed method is particularly applicable to optical gyroscopes.
