Researchers have built a prototype fiber optic gyroscope for high resolution, real-time monitoring of ground rotations caused by earthquakes in the active volcanic area of Campi Flegrei in Naples, ...

Researchers have taken an important new step in advancing the performance of resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, a type of fiber optic sensor that senses rotation using only light. Because gyroscopes ...

Interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes (IFOGs) exploit the Sagnac effect to measure rotation with extreme precision. Light from a coherent source is split into counter-propagating beams within a coil ...

Researchers built a prototype fiber optic gyroscope (pictured) for high resolution, real-time monitoring of ground rotations caused by earthquakes in an active volcanic area. The fibers are precisely ...

New technology poised to enable more precise and compact navigation systems for airplanes, unmanned vehicles and for land and marine navigation WASHINGTON -- Researchers have taken an important new ...
