High performance guided-wave optical components are essential to fiber optic gyros (FOG). The components of interest are multi-function integrated optic chips (MIOC), fiber coils, and polarization maintaining couplers.Recently, Litton Guidance & Control Systems Division has started a major effort to productize developed technology for its high volume and low cost FOG production. In the paper, the component performances will be presented and progress on the FOG component productization will be reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
