Abstract
An anti-reflection coated GaAlAs laser diode was used as a gain medium in a mode-locked fiber laser gyroscope to obtain stable mode-locked optical pulses without gain competition. The time intervals between the pulses could be measured with much improved accuracy using an electronic counter. The rms noise equivalent rotation rate was 3.4 deg/hr/(root)Hz and the long-term drift was less than 200 deg/hr.
