Fiber optic gyro productization at Photonetics (Invited Paper)

We describe our fiber gyro activity that has been directed toward prototypes with a very high dynamic range. Compact gyros ((phi) 50 mm X 28 mm) have been realized with reproducible performances (bias stability of 0.5 deg/h at 1 (sigma) , and scale factor linearity of 5 to 20 ppm at 1 (sigma) over +/- 1300 deg/h).
