Game Changing Development
Portable Passive Fast Light Optical Gyroscope (FLOG)
Project Description
Design, build, and test the first passive and active fast light optical gyros (FLOGs), progressing down in size from an optical table top, to a small optical breadboard, to a vacuum packaged mechanically-hardened version, with the ultimate goal to be able to detect rotation rates orders of magnitude smaller than current best technologies without increasing gyroscope size.
