The Optilab MIOC-1550-SP is the key component of Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG) for rotational rate sensing and inertial navigation systems. This Integrated Optic Chip (IOC) device is composed of a polarizer, a Y-junction coupler and dual electro optic phase modulators. Based on Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3), MIOC-1550-SP is fabricated with Proton Exchange (PE) optical waveguides. The MIOC-1550-SP features Polarization Extinction Ratio (PER) exceeding 60 dB that can minimize bias drift which results from polarization crosstalk induced non-reciprocity. The MIOC-1550-SP assures high reliability and performance over wide temperature range and is fiber pigtailed (input/output) with 80um fiber.
