Abstract: A system for stabilizing a scale factor associated with an optic rotation sensor comprises an optic rotation sensor that generates an optic signal in response to a rotation of the optic rotation sensor. A sensor detection system produces a rotation signal as a function of the optic signal and rotation of the optic rotation sensor. A first waveguide guides a portion of the optic signal for an interaction length, and produces a first processed optic signal. A second waveguide receives a portion of the optic signal from first waveguide through evanescent coupling, and produces a second processed optic signal. A wavemeter detector receives the optic signals and measures the effective interferometric wavelength (EIW) of the light based on the optic signals. A scale factor correction system receives the rotation signal and the EIW, and measures the correct rotation signal by processing the rotation signal and the EIW.

Once the paper or film is pressed against a glass sheet, this will leave a thin surface roughness of slip agent that can prevent or reduce glass surface scratches from other surfaces or particles during shipping or finishing (e.g., cutting to size, conveyance of glass), thereby improving the yield of glass shipments between glass forming plants and customers. The thin discontinuous layer of slip agent remaining on the glass surface can be washed off easily in subsequent washing processes. The paper or film can have the slip agent imbibed within the paper or coated on it as a surface member.
