Abstract
A brief summary of the performance limitations of fiber optic gyroscopes interrogated with a broadband light source is presented, followed by a description of the status of current research efforts to push back these limitations by using an air-core fiber instead of a conventional fiber in the sensing coil, and/or coherent instead of incoherent light.
