    Abstract: Various examples of a closed-loop optical gyroscope are disclosed. The closed-loop optical gyroscope includes a broadband light source configured to generate broadband optical signal(s). The broadband optical signal(s) propagate in an optical resonator and are coupled in and out of the optical resonator by optical couplers. A phase modulator applies phase modulation to the optical signal(s) based on a sawtooth modulation signal. The optical signal(s) repropagate in the optical resonator in a different direction. The optical signal(s) are then received and analyzed to determine parameter(s) of the phase modulator. One or more processors configure the phase modulator based on the determined parameter(s).

    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing polarization-related bias errors in RFOGS are described herein. In certain implementations, an RFOG system includes a fiber optic resonator, one or more laser sources, wherein light from the laser sources launches first and second optical beams into the fiber optic resonator in opposite directions, and an electro-optically tunable devices in the resonator path configured to modulate the phase difference between polarization components in the first and second optical beams as the optical beams propagate within the fiber optic resonator. The system further includes at least one photodetector, wherein the polarization components of the first and second optical beams are incident on the photodetector, wherein the at least one photodetector provides an electrical signal, and at least one processing unit configured to receive the electrical signal and calculate a rotation rate for the RFOG and provide a drive signal for the electro-optically tunable device.

    Abstract: One embodiment is directed towards a stabilized laser including a laser to produce light at a frequency and a resonator coupled to the laser such that the light from the laser circulates therethrough. The laser also includes Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) feedback electronics configured to adjust the frequency of the light from the laser to reduce phase noise in response to light sensed at the reflection port of the resonator and transmission port feedback electronics configured to adjust the frequency of the light from the laser toward resonance of the resonator at the transmission port in response to the light sensed at the transmission port of the resonator, wherein the transmission port feedback electronics adjust the frequency at a rate at least ten times slower than the PDH feedback electronics.
