Abstract
This paper proposes the theoretical design of a polarized interferometric fiber-optic gyroscope (IFOG). The polarized IFOG utilizes a coherent light source and polarization elements (Faraday rotators and polarizing beam splitter) to obtain maximum visibility of an interference signal and to compensate for the birefringent effect of a single-mode fiber coil in an IFOG.
