[...] signalons l'entrée en service en 1994, sur avion de transport civil, du gyromètre à fibre optique [...] Son principe de fonctionnement est voisin du gyrolaser à cavité. [...] Ce gyromètre sans gaz, ni plasma, ni pièce mécanique mobile est particulièrement robuste. [...] Un autre type de gyromètre optique est à l'étude, dit à cavité résonnante passive et constitué d'un guide d'onde en forme d'anneau. Il est toujours basé sur le principe de deux faisceaux de lumière contra-rotatifs. 1, record 1, French, - gyrom%C3%A8tre%20optique%20%C3%A0%20cavit%C3%A9%20r%C3%A9sonnante%20passive
