Abstract: A fiber-optic measurement device (10) includes a SAGNAC ring interferometer (20) having a proper frequency fp. The aim is to improve response time while maintaining high precision across the measurement range. Biasing elements (130) are used to produce: a first biasing phase-differential modulation component ??b1(t) (34) which is periodic in time-slots, having levels +? and ??, at a first biasing modulation frequency fb1 such that fb1=(2k1+1) fp, k1 being a natural number; and a second periodic biasing phase-differential modulation component ??b2(t) (35), having extreme amplitudes +?/a and ??/a, a being a non-zero real number such that |a|>1, at a second biasing modulation frequency fb2 such that fb2=(2k2+1) fp, k2 being a non-zero natural number such that k2>k1. A gyrometer including such a measurement device and a navigation or inertial-stabilization system including at least one such gyrometer are also described.
