Ultra-compact Single- or Dual-axis FOGs

EMCORE takes fiber optic gyro (FOG) technology to a new level of performance with the DSP-1750, the world’s smallest high-accuracy FOG. Available in both single- and dual-axis configurations, the DSP-1750 is designed for a wide range of precision navigation, stabilization, and pointing applications where low noise and high performance across the entire range of operating temperatures are critical. Ideal applications include long-range optical and sensor systems, gimbals, tactical missiles, autonomous vehicle navigation, and the stabilization of virtually all types of commercial equipment platforms.

Highlights

  • Extremely low noise, high bandwidth
  • EMCORE E•Core® ThinFiber technology
  • Innovative, versatile two-piece design for easy integration
  • Analog and digital output versions

DSP Technology

EMCORE’s DSP electronics improve FOG performance in critical areas such as scale factor and bias vs. temperature, scale factor linearity, and maximum input rate. EMCORE’s exclusive DSP design overcomes the limitations of analog signal processing, eliminating temperature-sensitive drift and rotation errors.
