Abstract: | Fiber-optic gyroscopes hold the potential of lower unit manufacturing costs and high reliability resulting from the lack of moving parts. Fiber gyroscopes have been proposed for a number of navigation, guidance and control system applications. The basic principles of operation and the various mechanizations of fiber-optic gyroscopes will be covered. The state of the art in fiber optic gyroscopes will be reviewed in terms of elimination of errors. The additional developments required to achieve fiber-optic gyroscopes suitable for strapdown applications will be explored. |
