Abstract

We show that the level of the second harmonic of sinusoidal modulation resulting from the non-linearity of the characteristics of piezoelectric transducer does not exceed0.005–0.0005% for deformations ranging from10−8 to10−6. The influence of the nonlinearity of the characteristics of a piezoelectric transducer used as a modulator of the optical length of the loop of a fiber ring interferometer on the accuracy parameters of the latter is analyzed. It is shown that the given level of the second harmonic does not lead to a significant shift of the zero of the interference of counterpropagating waves at the interferometer output.
