Abstract
A method and device are presented for use in determining a rate of rotation of an object. The device comprises a light guide comprising an arrangement of a plurality of coupled optical resonators arranged along a curvilinear optical path. This allows for determining a change in at least one of the light phase and frequency affected by the light propagation through the curvilinear path during the device rotation, said change being indicative of the rotation rate of the light guide.
