As a fundamental optical approach to interferometry, Sagnac interference has been widely
used for reflection manipulation, precision measurements, and spectral engineering in …

Photonics for angular rate sensing is a well-established research field having very important
industrial applications, especially in the field of strapdown inertial navigation. Recent …

We demonstrate in open microcavities with broken chiral symmetry that quasidegenerate
pairs of copropagating-wave resonances are transformed by rotation to counterpropagating …

We investigate the connection between group velocity and rotation sensitivity in a number of
resonant gyroscope designs. Two key comparisons are made. First, we compare two …

We analyze the sensitivity to inertial rotations Ω of a micron scale integrated gyroscope
consisting of a coupled resonator optical waveguide (CROW). We show here that by …

The scattering cancellation technique (SCT) has proved to be an effective way to render
static objects invisible to electromagnetic and acoustic waves. However, rotating cylindrical …

A critical issue that hinders the development of chip-scale optical gyroscopes is the size
dependence of the Sagnac effect, which manifests as a rotation-induced phase shift or …

A manifestation of the Sagnac effect in a rotating photonic crystal that contains a microcavity
with degenerate modes is explored. It is shown that generally rotation can cause the …

A quasistatic theory for slowly rotating electromagnetic systems observed in their rest frame
of reference is developed. Rotation-induced electrodynamic effects are explored, and their …

We study the effect of rotation on the propagation of electromagnetic waves in optical
microcoil resonator structures. It is shown that the combination of slow-light and …
