Abstract
Passive optical rotation sensors making use of guided-waves-optics are being investigated as potentially low-cost, high-sensitivity alternatives to laser-gyroscopes. After a review of recent work in this area, an experiment demonstrating quasi-photon-noise-limited sensitivity and stability of a fiber-optics sagnac interferometer is reported. Integration of the sensor on LiNbO3 is described.
