Researchers have taken an important new step in advancing the performance of resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, a type of fiber optic sensor that senses rotation using only light. Because gyroscopes ...

Optical technology harnesses the properties of light—its coherence, intensity and phase—to develop devices and systems for sensing, imaging, communication and navigation. Recent advances in integrated ...

The persistent narrative of cars that drive or planes that fly themselves will only come true if the on board systems can precisely determine where the vehicle is located at any time. In the aerospace ...

Boreas D90 INS integrated with LVS in front of the Tesla Model Y. (Advanced Navigation) Australian engineering company Advanced Navigation has demonstrated its laser velocity sensor (LVS) fused with ...

A research team led by Professor Jiwoong Yang of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has developed next-generation optical sensor technology capable of precisely detecting not ...

CEA-Leti and Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI) have developed the world’s smallest MEMS gyroscope. Based on a nano-resistive sensing technology, the gyroscope enables a navigation-grade performance with ...
