This invention relates to optical fiber systems where light is launched into and propagated in the fundamental mode of graded-index multimode fiber. Generally, it is not possible to launch light exclusively into the fundamental mode of graded-index multimode fiber by butt-coupling the multimode fiber to an arbitrary fiber carrying light from a source; several other modes may be launched. By inserting a length of a special singlemode fiber between an arbitrary fiber carrying light from a source and the graded-index multimode fiber, light can be launched exclusively into the fundamental mode of the graded-index multimode fiber. The special singlemode fiber has a modal pattern that matches the fundamental Gaussian modal pattern of the graded-index multimode fiber, which permits launching of the light into only the fundamental mode of the multi mode fiber. Several applications for propagation in the fundamental mode of graded-index multimode fiber arises. These include: fiber optic sensor systems, high data rate communication links, low modal noise links, high security links, etc.

An effective and precise method and system for compensation and measurement of a zero-bias in an axisymmetrical CVG (Coriolis Vibrating Gyroscope) is provided. Principal mode is driven according to an X-axis. Angular velocity is measured through Coriolis mode excitation along Y-axis. The sensitive axis of the gyroscope is reversed by 180 degrees by switching input and sense signals. Vibration is then driven along Y-axis and angular velocity is sensed along X-axis.

Half-sum in outputs between two opposite position gives the zero-bias error.
