Optical frequency comb stimulated brillouin scattering gyroscope

Systems and methods for measuring rotation using an optical frequency comb stimulated Brillouin scattering gyroscope are provided. In certain embodiments, a system comprises a light source that produces a multiple-frequency light beam based on an optical frequency comb; and an optical fiber resonator coupled to the light source, the multiple-frequency light beam propagating in a first direction within the optical fiber resonator, wherein the multiple-frequency light beam generates stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) for a frequency, wherein the Brillouin scattering generates an SBS light beam to propagate in a second direction, the first direction being opposite in direction to the second direction. The system also comprises a servo to control the frequencies of the optical frequency comb to lock a plurality of component frequencies on resonance peaks of the optical fiber resonator; and a mixer that determines a frequency difference between the SBS light beam and the multiple-frequency light beam.
