  7. Fibre-optic gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-optic_gyroscope

    A looped fibre-optic coil multiplies the effective area by the number of loops. A fibre-optic gyroscope ( FOG) senses changes in orientation using the Sagnac effect, thus performing the function of a mechanical gyroscope. However its principle of operation is instead based on the interference of light which has passed through a coil of optical ...
