Polarization - maintaining fibers (PMFs) for fiber optic gyroscopes offer exceptional polarization stability, minimizing signal interference and loss. They have low birefringence temperature sensitivity, ensuring reliable performance in diverse temperature environments. With high resistance to external disturbances like vibration and bending, they provide accurate and consistent measurements.
These PMFs are predominantly used in fiber optic gyroscopes for inertial navigation systems in aerospace, such as aircraft and satellites, to determine orientation precisely. They are also applied in marine navigation for ships and submarines, as well as in land - based inertial measurement units for autonomous vehicles and precision surveying equipment.
