Abstract :
A novel structure of Micro-Optic-Electro-Mechanical-System (MOEMS) gyroscope was designed. Optical waveguide diffractive component, electro-optical modulator and Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensor etc. were integrated on a XY LiNbO3 substrate. The obtained sensitivity was 12 uVdeg-1s-1 in the angular rate range of 0 -400deg/s.
