Research abstract

This proposal will use a state-of-the-art hybrid-optical engine chip developed under a previous MDA sponsored SBIR Phase II project (HQ0006-07-C-7314) to assemble a complete prototype of a compact Interferometric Fiber Optic Gyroscope (IFOG). An IFOG test bed will be developed and system performance parameters will be measured for the optical engine chip. A comparison between model and experiment will be used to optimize the optical engine chip design in Phase II.
