This monograph is devoted to the creation of a comprehensive formalism for quantitative description of polarized modes' linear interaction in modern single-mode optic fibers. The theory of random connections between polarized modes, developed in the monograph, allows calculations of the zero shift deviations for a fiber ring interferometer. The monograph addresses also the Sagnac effect and the Thomas precession. br /> < >Grigorii B. Malykin,Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Nizhnii Novgorod, Russia;V.I.
