Abstract: An fiber-optic interferometric rotation sensor device has a laser source combined with an optical fiber. These are configured to cause interference between a beam from the laser source and a beam coming from the optical fiber. The laser source includes an optical cavity having a gain lasing medium. The sensor device includes, along the path of the beam output by the laser cavity, a beam splitter device associated with a mirror, wherein the beam split off from the beam output by the laser cavity is sent into one of the ends of the optical fiber and directed from the other end toward the gain lasing medium to form a nonlinear mirror. The splitter device is followed by a detector.

The optical device has an optical element (32) capable of applying a phase deformation, and at least one matrix (M1) of detectors capable of detecting a first image (im) of a wave surface corresponding to the N beams. The matrix (M1) of detectors also detects a second image (imd) deformed by the optical element (32). Processing means (31) are provided for processing the first and second images. The processing means are configured so as to measure the phase pistons between on the sub-pupils (spj) corresponding to the N beams and to apply phase corrections c(φ) to each of the N beams, by means of said N phase shifters so as to minimize the phase pistons.
