Which outcome occurs in a fiber optic gyroscope operating with a laser when mechanical stress alters index?

💡 Explanation

The Sagnac effect induces differing phase shifts for beams traveling in opposite directions because the fiber deformation changes effective optical path. Therefore, a phase shift occurs, rather than alternatives driven by unrelated mechanisms such as imperfections or thermal effects.
