“…More recently, emerging applications such as automotive, robotics, biomedical or consumer electronics have increased the demand for small footprints and low-cost gyroscopes [2,5]. Although microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS) offer a compact alternative for cars and consumer electronics, they require vacuum packaging for high sensitivity [5] and cannot support high vibrations or accelerations [6].…”

In this paper, we present a CMOScompatible integrated photonics resonant gyroscope incorporating active Si&Ge components with low-loss SiN waveguiding structures for the first time. The gyroscope design is based on a ring-coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometer (19.2 mm ring length). Based on numerical modelling, the estimated resolution is 1.08 deg/s, representing a 1.56-times improvement over a single ring all-pass design with the same footprint. Further improvement afforded by the MZI-based design is expected under Kerr effet limited conditions. Devices were fabricated with the STMicroelectronics DAPHNE (Datacom Advanced Photonics Nanoscale Environment) 300 mm Photonic R&D platform. Experimental measurements under static (nonrotating) conditions confirm the numerical modelling results.

“…Optical gyroscopes making use of the Sagnac effect have played important roles in navigation and positioning systems [1]. Compared to micromechanical gyros, optical gyroscopes show high tolerance to acceleration and overload and have short warm-up times, among other factors [2].…”

“…By measuring the difference between the resonant frequencies of the CW and CCW beams induced by the Sagnac effect from PD2, we can obtain the output of the gyro. Two parameters are used to characterize the performance of MOGs: the shot-noise-limited theoretical sensitivity and angle random walk (ARW) [1]. Shot-noise is a kind of random noise generated by the photoelectric conversion in photodetectors.…”

Micro-optical gyroscopes (MOGs) are a type of high-accuracy gyroscope, which have the advantages of miniaturization, low cost, and satisfactory operating power. The quality factor (Q) of the waveguide ring resonators (WRRs) is very important to the performance of MOGs. This paper reviews various MOGs using WRRs made from different materials, including silica, indium phosphide, calcium fluoride, and polymer WRRs. The different architectures of the MOGs are reviewed, such as double-ring resonator MOGs and multiple-ring resonator MOGs. Candidate high-Q WRRs for MOGs, including silicon nitride, lithium niobite, calcium fluoride, and magnesium fluoride WRRs, are also reviewed. The manufacturing process, Q, and integration density values are compared. Summarizing the advanced WRRs and calculating the shot-noise-limited sensitivity are helpful processes in selecting suitable materials to fabricate MOGs.

“…However, the MEMS gyroscopes suffer from the unreliability caused by the unstable mechanical structure. Since their sensing elements include moving parts, an acceleration or vibration will be mistakenly detected as the angular speed 8 . Furthermore, the MEMS gyroscopes need special packing and complex readout electronic circuit, which increase the costs.…”

Miniaturized and low-cost optical gyroscopes are urgently required for emerging applications in consumer electronics market. In this paper, we proposed a theoretical analysis and preliminary experiment results for integrated interferometric optical gyroscope based on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform for the first time. The gyroscope is based on the Sagnac effect and composed of coiled multimode waveguides to reduce propagation loss and the footprint. The sensitivity of the sensing part is fully investigated in terms of waveguide loss, gyroscope footprint, crossing numbers for coiled waveguides, as well as the waveguide cross section. The experimental results show that gyroscope sensitivity is 51.3 deg/s with a footprint of 600 μm × 700 μm.
