Disclosed is a differential fiber-optic frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) Sagnac gyroscope for measuring rotation velocity. The gyroscope comprises a frequency-modulated laser, two fiber-optic polarizers (P1 and P2), two Y-type single-mode fiber-optic couplers (FC1 and FC3), two X-type single-mode fiber-optic couplers (FC2 and FC4), a single-mode fiber coil and a photodiode. The two output fibers of FC1 and FC3 are connected with the two input fibers of FC2 and FC4, the first output fibers of FC2 and FC4 are connected with the fiber coil, and the second output fibers of FC2 and FC4 are directly connected to each other to form an optical fiber shortcut, as shown in Fig. 1. The laser is driven by a gated modulation signal. The gyroscope uses the phase difference between the beat signal froin the fiber coil and the beat signal from fiber shortcut to measure the rotation velocity. The advantages of this gyroscope include high accuracy, long dynamic range, good long-term stability, compact size and light weight.
