Which consequence results when coherence collapses within fiber-optic gyroscope?

A)Bias instability increases significantly
B)Wavelength drifts into infrared
C)Fiber birefringence is automatically corrected
D)Interferometer measures true Earth rotation suddenly

💡 Explanation

When coherence is lost, the Sagnac effect measurement suffers degraded stability because random phase fluctuations manifest; this leads to substantial bias drift rather than accurate measurements. Therefore, bias instability ensues, rather than wavelength shift or perfect rotation measurement.
