ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method and apparatus for determining the rotation of a medium through which a light beam propagates by modulating the light beam with a pseudorandom sequence of bits. The method comprises the steps of (1) selecting a "0" or a "1" as the next bit of the modified pseudorandom bit sequence if one or more criteria are satisfied, the criteria being based on the measured properties of a plurality of prior bits of the modified pseudorandom bit sequence; otherwise: (2) selecting the next bit of an initial pseudorandom bit sequence as the next bit of the modified pseudorandom bit sequence, the next bit of the initial pseudorandom bit sequence being a function of one or more prior bits of the initial pseudorandom bit sequence.
