Fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) have been developed for vehicle navigation systems and are used in TOYOTA Motor Corporation models MARKII, CHASER and CRESTA in Japan. Use of FOGs in these systems requires high reliability under a wide range of conditions, especially in a temperature range between -40 and 85 Cel. In addition, a high cost-performance ratio is needed. FOGs have already been installed in luxury automobiles, and will soon be included in more basic vehicles. Different inexpensive FOGs have been developed for this purpose. They are ready to be mass-produced.
