Closed-Loop Fiber Optic Gyros
EMCORE’s closed-loop Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) technology is designed for fast, accurate navigation and gyrocompassing, and low
noise line-of-sight stabilization. Our long-standing leadership in the development of highly-accurate defense and military-grade fiber
optic components has paved the way for the development of more accurate and economical FOG components.
EG-200 Tactical Grade Fiber Optic Gyroscope
The EG-200 Fiber Optic Gyro is a superior device in regards to weight and form factor for tactical
applications. It incorporates fully-integrated optics and next-generation Field Programmable Gate
Array (FPGA) electronics that deliver higher accuracy, optical drift stability, lower noise, greater ef-
ficiency and reliability, combined with low cost. The EG-200 can be calibrated internally for better
thermal effect.
Features/Benefits Applications
n Closed-loop design for improved drift stability, higher n Platform, camera and antenna
linearity, and greater flexibility Stabilization
n Digital and analog outputs to accommodate the n Robotic control
widest variety of installation parameters n UAVs
n Bandwidth to 300 Hz n Ground vehicle & dismounted soldier
n More economical than competing systems n Spacecraft
EG-120 Tactical Grade Fiber Optic Gyroscope
The EG-120 FOG module is an ultra-compact, state-of-the-art design that is the smallest, most af-
fordable closed-loop FOG available on the market today. At approximately 1/2 the weight with 1/3
the power requirements of current generation FOGs, the EG-120 delivers the industry’s best Size,
Weight and Power (SWaP) compared to competing products.
Features/Benefits Applications
n Smallest, most affordable closed-loop FOG available n Platform, camera, antenna and gun
stabilization systems
n Closed-loop design for improved drift stability, higher
lnearity, and greater flexibility n Robotic control
n Fully-Integrated optics and next-generation Field Pro- n UAVs
grammable Gate Array (FPGA) electronics n Ground vehicle & dismounted soldier
n Bandwidth to 250 Hz n Spacecraft
EG-1300 Navigation Grade Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG)
The EG-1300 Fiber Optic Gyro is a superior device in regards to weight and form factor for naviga-
tional-grade applications. Its advanced integrated optics and closed-loop FPGA electronics deliver
much higher accuracy, lower noise, and greater efficiency than competing technologies. The EG-
1300 can be calibrated internally for better thermal effect and has both digital and analog outputs,
along with separation of the electronics from the FOG’s sensing coil assembly to accommodate the
widest variety of installation parameters.
Features/Benefits Applications
n Precise navigation (1 mile/hour without GPS) n Navigational-grade applications
n Fast, precise gyrocompassing to 1 milliradian n Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
guidance
n Separate electronics and sensor modules for greater n Missile guidance
installation flexibility
n Aeronautics and aviations
n Bandwidth to 500 Hz
n More economical than competing systems
