The Outlook for Gyroscopy
В. Г. Пешехонов
Abstract
Modern gyroscopy is characterized by a great diversity of gyroscopes that have been and are being developed. Dominant positions belong to wave optic gyroscopes implementing the relativistic Sagnac effect, and micromechanical vibratory gyroscopes the operating principle of which is based on Coriolis effect. At the same time, high-precision rotor mechanical gyroscopes based on the principles of rotating solid body dynamics partially retain their position; also, the research of gyroscopes developed on the principles of nuclear physics and quantum optics is progressing successfully. Current state and the prospects of gyroscopes development are discussed in this paper.
