title: All-single-mode fiber-optic gyroscope with long-term stability.
abstract: A new all-fiber gyroscope is described. All components are constructed directly on a single continuous optical fiber, removing localized sources of reflection. A laser-diode source is used to reduce coherent scattering effects. Proper choice of modulation frequency is shown to reduce instabilities further. Long-term stability at rest of better than 0.2 masculine/h is observed with 30-sec integration time.
