Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Tech Transfer
Fiberless Optical Gyroscope, Phase I
Project Introduction
We propose a radical new approach for to the design and fabrication of a fiber-less Interferometric Optical Gyroscope (IOG) that enables the production of a very small IMU with better performance, higher reliability, high level of robustness and lower cost. Gener8 and InFiber Technology estimate that an order-of-magnitude better cost and size to performance ratio of IOG sensors and their corresponding assemblies can be achieved when compared to the conventional IFOG implementations.
