Abstract

A potted sensor coil for a fiber optic gyroscope includes an inter-layer stress relief layer of lubricating material. The coil is wound into a known pattern. Various coil configurations can be realized in which a coating layer of lubricant relieves stressing at the interface between the outer jacket of the fiber and the coil potting material.
