Sagnac Effect Compensations and Locked States in a Ring Laser Gyroscope
TLDR
In this paper , the frequency lock-in phenomenon occurring in the ring laser gyroscopes was successfully investigated by compensating for the Sagnac effect through frequency analysis using a newly defined error function.Abstract:
Frequency lock-in-induced deadband phenomena are major problems of ring laser gyroscopes (RLGs), which deteriorate linear responses to changes in the applied rotation rate. In this work, the frequency lock-in phenomenon occurring in the RLG was successfully investigated by compensating for the Sagnac effect through frequency analysis using a newly defined error function. Integrative and generalized viewpoints from the analyzed results provide new possibilities for relevant performance improvements of optical gyroscopes, as well as a deeper understanding of locked states in principle aspects.read more

Real Spectra in Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians Having PT Symmetry
TL;DR: The condition of self-adjointness as discussed by the authors ensures that the eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian are real and bounded below, replacing this condition by the weaker condition of $\mathrm{PT}$ symmetry, one obtains new infinite classes of complex Hamiltonians whose spectra are also real and positive.

Exceptional points in optics and photonics.
TL;DR: The topic of exceptional points in photonics is reviewed and some of the possible exotic behavior that might be expected from engineering such systems are explored, as well as new angle of utilizing gain and loss as new degrees of freedom, in stark contrast with the traditional approach of avoiding these elements.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a dynamical encircling of an exceptional point is analogous to the scattering through a two-mode waveguide with suitably designed boundaries and losses, and mode transitions are induced that transform this device into a robust and asymmetric switch between different waveguide modes.
