Abstract :
This paper is reports a concept of MEMS-RLG and observation of an winking phenomenon using a trial model device using an SOA as the light source. The MEMS-RLG involves some fabrication errors. To compensate them, we designed movable optical parts. In addition, external oscillation of an SOA and a winking phenomenon which is important to sense an angular velocity of RLGs are confirmed.
