An interferometric fiber optic gyroscope having compensation electronics to virtually eliminate rotation rate sensing errors caused by Kerr effect in the IFOG due to differing intensities of the counter-propagating beams relative to each other. Compensation accounts for varying intensities of the beams due to all or some changes of: the light beam splitter ratio relative to temperature; fiber coil loss due to temperature and longevity; and the intensity of the light source because of age.

Ce gyroscope à fibre optique interférométrique est pourvu d'un équipement électronique de compensation destiné à éliminer, quasiment, toute erreur de détection de vitesse de rotation due à l'effet de Kerr dans un gyroscope à fibre optique interférométrique, lequel effet de Kerr est provoqué par des différences d'intensité des faisceaux de sens inverse, l'un par rapport à l'autre. La compensation tient compte de la variation de l'intensité des faisceaux due à tous les écarts (ou à quelques uns) du rapport séparation de faisceau lumineux/température, à l'affaiblissement du bobinage à fibre optique causé par la température et par un long usage ainsi qu'à la diminution de l'intensité de la source lumineuse due au degré d'usure.
