| Abstract | Nontechnical Description Gyroscopes are essential tools used in many technologies, such as navigation systems, drones, and camera stabilization. Thanks to advances in MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS), mechanical gyroscopes have become much smaller and more efficient. However, for the highest levels of accuracy and stability, optical gyroscopes—like Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLGs) and Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (FOGs)—are still the top choice. These devices use a physical principle called the Sagna |
