Abstract

As a basic study of a Brillouin fiber-optic gyro, the state of polarization of stimulated Brillouin scattering in an optical fiber ring-resonator is analyzed. A high-birefringent fiber ring-resonator with 90/spl deg/ polarization axis rotation at the splice is considered as a candidate to have a stable lasing. It has two special states of polarization as the lasing modes, namely the polarization lateral modes. The lasing frequencies, namely the longitudinal modes for one state are fixed just in the middle point between the two neighboring lasing frequencies for the other in this resonator. This means that the stable single mode lasing may be obtained. The lasing threshold, the alternation of the lasing modes are discussed both by the simplified theory and the strict theory.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
