Zinan Wang Sept.22, 1988 Data Center (Beijing), Agricultural Bank of ChinaThe author has been studied fiber-optical sensors since 2008. In recent years, his researches mainly focus on the interferometric fiber-optic gyroscope (IFOG). His research achievements include novel structures and optimized signal processing methods for IFOGs. Especially, he discovers the optical compensation mechanism for IFOGs, together with his research group. With this mechanism, polarization errors can be efficiently suppressed within dual-polarization IFOGs. Selected Publications[1]Z. Wang, Y. Yang, Y. Li, X. Yu, Z. Zhang, and Z. Li.
