Abstract :
Summary form only given. We introduce the first pulse-excited interferometric fibre optic gyroscope (IFOG) to our knowledge. The pulse source is advantageous in its ability to produce a wide spectrum and high average power at the same time. It also opens the door to new methods of stabilizing mean wavelength, reducing sidelobes in coherence function, and reducing shot noise via optical squeezing.
