FIBER GYROSCOPE PRINCIPLES

After a brief review of the milestones leading to the development of the optical gyroscope, we describe the basic principles underlying the Fiber Optic Gyroscope and discuss optical configurations, readout techniques and performance limits of this device. A final comment on prospects of developments is presented.
