Fiber disk laser — A fiber disk laser is a fiber laser with transverse delivery of the pump light. They are characterized by the pump beam not being parallel to the active core of the optical fiber (as in a double clad fiber), but directed to the coil of the fiber… … Wikipedia
fiber-optics gyro — A fiber optics gyro measures a rotation by passing a coherent light both ways simultaneously around a loop of mono mode optical fiber. The rotation is measured instantly by a phase shift at the output. This device is not a gyro, even though it… … Aviation dictionary
