Abstract
The paper discusses the feasibility of a novel heterodyne approach to the design of an all-fibre optical gyroscope. The IF is produced by source frequency modulation which also serves to reduce the effective source coherence. Such a technique offers distinct advantages in that the optical medium is completely passive, making it ideal for an all-fibre approach.
