Digital resonator fiber optic gyro based on a miniature laser source

A resonator fiber optic gyro (RFOG) based on a fiber-coupled semiconductor DFB-LD with an FPGA-based digital processor is set up. A bias stability of 23deg/h over one hour is successfully demonstrated. This is the best result in long time stability reported to date, to the best of our knowledge, for the RFOG based on a miniaturized laser source.
