In this paper we report on the design, fabrication and characterization of an integrated-optic spiral resonator for angular rate sensing applications. The spiral resonator design has been optimized through a parametric analysis and a minimum angular velocity of about 10°/h, suitable for aerospace applications, has been theoretically predicted. The resonator has been fabricated in silica-on-silicon technology and characterized. Experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

Abstract
In this paper we report on the design, fabrication and characterization of an integrated-optic spiral resonator for angular rate sensing applications. The spiral resonator design has been optimized through a parametric analysis and a minimum angular velocity of about 10°/h, suitable for aerospace applications, has been theoretically predicted. The resonator has been fabricated in silica-on-silicon technology and characterized. Experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
