Paper Abstract
In this paper, we review currently available fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG) technologies and major noise factors limiting
the performance of FOGs. We investigate possible solutions to noise factors including Rayleigh backscattering, Kerr
effect, Faraday, and Shupe effects. Based on these solutions, we present the possible design of an interferometric FOGs
employing microstructured fibers. A supercontinuum source can minimize Rayleigh backscattering and Kerr effect by
reducing the coherence length of FOGs. Also, by using a photonic bandgap fiber with hollow core, Kerr, Faraday and
Shupe effects can be minimized.
