用锁模Nd~（3+）：YAG激光器作为光源，建立了Sagnac干涉仪。分析了在脉冲激光干涉测量中，使用SI比使用马赫-曾德尔干涉仪的优越性。实验证明了SI的自稳特性。本文讨论了SI在光致折射率变化测量和皮秒光开关中的应用。给出了实验结果。
A Sagnac interferometer (SI) has been constructed with a mode-locked Nd3+:YAG laser as its source. The advantages in pulsed laser interferometry of using a SI over a Mach-Zehnder interferometer are analyzed. The autostability property of SI is experimentally demonstrated. Applications of an SI to light-induced index of refraction change measurements and to the picosecond optical switching are discussed. Experimental results are presented.
