This paper described the design and performance evaluation of fiber optic gyro using digital closed-loop processing. For the feedback to null the gyro input rate, digital serrodyne modulation was employed, and for scale factor stabilization, the control circuits of modulation amplitude and optical power are implemented. Performance tests show that prototype fiber optic gyro has bias stability of 0.34 deg/hr, scale factor non-lineality of about 100ppm, and maximum measurement range of ${\pm}500$ deg/sec.

We studied the design of fiber optic gyroscope that enables to sense high rotation by extending the limit of rotation sensibility of fiber optic interferometer. Based on the digital serrodyne modulation technique, the signal processing of fiber optic gyroscope was designed and the prototype fiber optic gyroscope showed the high rotation sensibility up to ${\pm}3000[deg/sec]$ and scale factor performance of about 150[ppm] by the experiments. Accordingly, we confirmed that the design of fiber optic gyroscope was valid for high rotation.
