← ScienceWhich consequence results when coherence collapses within fiber-optic gyroscope?
A)Bias instability increases significantly✓
B)Wavelength drifts into infrared
C)Fiber birefringence is automatically corrected
D)Interferometer measures true Earth rotation suddenly
💡 Explanation
When coherence is lost, the Sagnac effect measurement suffers degraded stability because random phase fluctuations manifest; this leads to substantial bias drift rather than accurate measurements. Therefore, bias instability ensues, rather than wavelength shift or perfect rotation measurement.
