We propose the idea and design of a novel resonant micro-optical gyro based on a self-injection locking technique. By enhancing the reciprocity and measuring beat frequency, the sensitivity of gyro is improved effectively, which is usually limited by two main factors: low signal-to-noise ratio and immature signal detecting technique. In addition, a small size distributed feedback semiconductor laser with megahertz linewidth is used for miniaturization, instead of the narrow linewidth and tunable laser in traditional resonant gyros. Sensitivity of this resonant micro-optical gyro depends, in fact, on the accuracy of time measurement. In this paper, theory sensitivity is demonstrated to be at the order of 10−4 deg/h under a 6 KHz modulation frequency.
