Abstract

Abstract

A Brillouin ring laser gyroscope is demonstrated using a silica-on-silicon high-Q whispering gallery resonator. The sensitivity is sufficient to observe the Earth's rotation rate. Also, scale factor enhancement is demonstrated using an exceptional point in the resonator system. Prospects for improved performance are discussed.
