A scattered light Moire-Brillouin guided wave gyroscope includes a coherent light source for providing two counter-rotating primary waves; an optical waveguide, responsive to the two primary waves, for generating a Moire fringe from a primary fringe and a Brillouin fringe derived respectively from the counter-rotating primary waves and from the counter-rotating Brillouin waves produced from the primary waves; and means for detecting the rotation of the Moire fringe relative to the waveguide.

Scattered light moire-brillouin gyroscope

A scattered light multi-Brillouin guided wave optical gyroscope includes a coherent light source; an optical waveguide responsive to the coherent light source for generating a Brillouin, inertially stationary, synchronized fringe from two counter-rotating fringes each derived from a pair of Brillouin waves separated by twice the Brillouin shift; and means for detecting relative rotation between the Brillouin stationary synchronized fringe and the waveguide.
