Passive Fiber Optic Gyro Study.
Abstract
The report summarizes the principles of operation of the passive fiber optic gyro. It starts with a discussion of the Sagnac effect and proceeds to a theoretical prediction of the optimum shot noise limited performance. An overview of the major requirements and problems associated with the principal components follows. This leads to a discussion of the signal processing, some conclusions, and recommendations with respect to specific areas for further investigations. (Author)
