Abstract
A mode-locked fiber laser gyroscope is reported that uses a distribute d-feedback semiconductor laser amplifier as the gain medium. Stable mo de-locked optical pulses were obtained without gain competition, and t he pulse interval could be measured with much-improved accuracy as a f unction of rotation rate. The rms noise equivalent rotation rate was m easured to be 0.4 deg/root h. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
