Abstract
A frequency-sensitive optical gyroscope based on an electro-optical os cillator is proposed. The operating principles of this device are desc ribed, its noise and ultimate sensitivity are estimated. The proposed gyroscope is a self-oscillating device whose operating frequency is ch anged as a result of a change of the rotation rate but it is entirely free from the problem of locking.
