, resulting in a Fog with enhanced bias stability, low noise, high bandwidth and a scale factor accuracy of 0.05 per cent. The unit has no moving parts and requires no maintenance, yet provides extremely precise rotational rate information by measuring the phase difference between two paths of light traveling in opposite directions through an optical fibre.
