Mechanical gyro limitations and reliability issues drove the development of the ring laser gyro in the 1960s. Just as production prototypes began to emerge in the mid-1970s the first fiber gyro breadboard emerged. This paper provides an overview of factors that have driven the development of the fiber optic gyro, its applications, and recommendations for further information.
