• Offered with 16g inertial-grade MEMS accelerometer
• Robust performance with high bandwidth

Technology Details

Photonic Integrated Chip Technology
EMCORE’s photonic integrated chip (PIC) technology reimagines FOG technology by replacing individual fiber components with an innovative integrated planar optic chip. This results in a FOG with PIC Inside™ that’s reliable and robust. With three of these integrated photonic gyros at its core, the TAC-450-320 IMU provides the safe, accurate performance autonomous platforms demand.

State-of-the-art Electronics
EMCORE’s Dual Core DSP electronics with ARM processor require less power for extended product life and offer higher speed with integrated multi-channel processing. Low-loss optical circuits use less light for greater efficiency.
