We demonstrate a tactical grade interferometric fiber optics gyroscope (IFOG) based on silicon photonics platform. As-realized silicon chip integrates all passive and active components on the same chip while leaving the light source and fiber coil externally. The proposed Si-based IFOG is a promising alternative to LiNbO 3 and MEMS counterparts with a miniaturized footprint and better cost/performance value.
