A fiber optic Sagnac interferometer for measuring rotation rate includes a light source that is ON/OFF keyed in a predetermined cycle. After filtering of the readout signal in the course of demodulation, a substantially-lower readout signal carrier frequency, and, thus, corresponding-lower demodulator requirements, may be achieved. A closed loop configuration is disclosed, associated with a scale factor controlling circuit, for rotation rate sensors with keyed light sources. The invention is particularly suitable for fiber optical rotation rate sensors with short sensor coils.
