Abstract
A fiber optic gyro sensor coil with improved temperature stability for use at temperatures between T1 and T2, T1 being less than -30.degree. C. and T2 being greater than 60.degree. C. The coil is wound with an optical fiber having one or more jackets. The one or more jackets are made of materials having glass transition regions outside the temperature range from T1 to T2.
