Abstract:
A fiber optic gyroscope includes first and second gyroscopes. The first gyroscope includes: a first light source for emitting two lights; a first optical fiber loop which includes a sensor coil structured such that an optical fiber is wound in a multilayer manner, through which the two lights travel in opposite directions, and which constitutes a laser resonant circuit with the first light source; and a first optical detector for detecting an angular velocity based on a beat frequency which is produced by the two lights. The second gyroscope includes: a second light source for emitting light; an optical distributor for dividing the light into two lights; a second optical fiber loop through which the two lights travel in opposite directions and enter both respective ends of the sensor coil; and a second optical detector for detecting an angular velocity based on a phase difference between the two lights.
