Docket #: S08-088
Unidirectional CROW Gyroscopes
This optical gyroscope uses a unidirectional coupled-resonator waveguide to enhance the Sagnac effect. Thus, this device offers greater sensitivity to rotation than conventional resonant or interferometric fiber-optic gyroscopes.
This patent is available for licensing through Stanford's exclusive licensee.
