Application of fiber optic gyroscope for quality research of slow-speed angular rotation

Theoretical and experimental results of studies on a stability of slow-speed motion generated by different type rotating platforms designed for an investigation of angular velocity meters are presented. An application of fiber optic gyroscope with sensitivity 0.2 deg/h and drift range of Earth rotation give possibility for measurement real rotation generated by platforms in their all work range. Especially, a possibility of a measurement in the lowest range is a new possibility. The method presented in paper has given also a possibility to investigate error sources of generated rotation velocity.
