Enhancement of the Sagnac effect due to nonlinearly induced nonreciprocity.
We propose a novel way to enhance the Sagnac effect by using a nonlinear ring interferometer. Specifically, we take advantage of the nonlinearly induced nonreciprocity of counterpropagating waves caused by the formation of an index grating in the nonlinear medium.
