Not meaning to. It was a bit of a shock to me too. Take a one-turn circular optical path of radius R and refractive index n, initially at rest, with a source and beam splitter at one end of a diameter and a beam combiner at the other end, where the fringe shift is measured.

If you imagine light leaving the beam splitter at T=0, it arrives at the combiner at time t_half = pi*R*n/c.

If you then spin it at an angular rate of Omega rad/s, you might expect that the fringe shift in cycles would be equal to twice the number of wavelengths the combiner moved in the time it took the light to get there from the beam splitter, i.e.

Delta phi = 2*t_half*Omega*R*n/c.

Except that it isn't. The factor of n doesn't change anything; the phase shift is the same as in vacuo.

Cheers

But isn't the idea to use a beam going the opposite direction as a reference? The idea being that both are in the same medium so c/RI drops out, leaving only the difference in the path length?

In Blackburn, Lancashire, but they could (maybe) have filled Albert Hall. Lennon himself seems less than 100% sure that they would have actually filled Albert Hall-- he was simply looking for a word to complete his verse:-

And modern analysis casts further doubt on the theory:-

The tilt sensors on the pinball machines I've fixed had no semiconductor parts at all. One is a bob with a ring around it, and the other is a ramp with a ball and microswitch. ;-)

OK, mostly I had not thought about the case of the beams in something other than air (~vacuum). So is there any effect from the glass index of refraction. I'm thinking of the Fizeau drag. (Which I've never quite understood.)

This was from work on ring gyros, not fiber gyros, probably mid 80's thus predating SPIE's on line journals which start from 1990. They once had an on-line index of all journal articles, but I can't find it now. If you can find an index to older Optical Engineering journals look for the first few years of articles on laser or ring gyros, sorry I can't be more specific. I think after the first few years continuing work on ring gyros became classified and details of deployed systems were not published.

Try searching on "lock-in reduction".

Ah, thank you, yes, it is more complicated it seems, with different releases. I remember all those tracks, And I still have some as mp3 (no sea of holes).

Loved that music.

It's easy to think outside the box, when you have a cutting torch.

No need. It's right under dimboobie. :)
