Highest bias stability fiber-optic gyroscope SRS-5000

Abstract

The aim of the current work was to produce the highest bias stability fiber-optic gyroscope SRS-5000 and to evaluate its main technical characteristics. Five prototype SRS-5000 devices were comprehensively measured and evaluated. Measured devices' parameters (ARW around 69 M°/√hour with bias stability better than 8×10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-5</sup> °/hour) allow to assess this type of devices as the highest-precision strategic grade fiber-optic gyroscopes, commercially available.
