Paper Abstract
In the late 1970s the closed loop fiber optic gyro was invented and demonstrated at McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company in Huntington Beach, California. This development was followed by a series of derivative inventions that included the Sagnac acoustic sensor, Sagnac distributed sensors and finally a Sagnac secure fiber optic communication system. This paper provides an overview of these developments.
