An optical rotation sensor based on dispersive slow-light medium

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/20/7/074207

Abstract Slow light supported by electromagnetically induced transparency effect in dispersive medium is extremely susceptible with respect to Doppler detuning. In this paper, the Doppler effect induced by rotating dispersive medium was considered and the effect of the velocity of rotating dispersive medium on the group velocity was studied. Based on a dispersive slow-light medium, a high sensitive optical rotation sensor for measuring absolute rotation is proposed and analysed. The sensitivity of the rotation sensor is the group delay between the counterpropagationed wave packets in the device, and scales directly with square of the group index which can reach 10²—10⁸ orders of magnitude by selecting a proper dispersive medium.

Keywords: slow light dispersive medium absolute rotation group delay
