← ScienceWhich outcome diminishes a fiber optic gyroscope's precision?
A)Loss of light source coherence✓
B)Increased fiber bend radius
C)Polarization mode dispersion increase
D)Optical amplifier saturation onset
💡 Explanation
Gyroscope precision decreases because loss of light source coherence reduces the interference fringe contrast, measured by the Sagnac effect. This undermines accuracy because fringe visibility must exceed a performance threshold, rather than bandwidth or polarization effects alone.
