Abstract: An optical resonator is provided. The optical resonator comprises: an optical resonator coil comprising a first port and a second port; wherein the optical resonator coil comprises antiresonant nodeless fiber; a resonator loop closure optics system; and wherein the antiresonant nodeless fiber has a length such that the resonant frequencies the optical resonator of the desired polarization state of light and of the undesired polarization state of light are separated by between a tenth of a free spectral range and nine tenths of a free spectral range to minimize gyroscope errors.

Abstract: In an example, an integrated optical circuit (IOC) includes a first substrate formed of a first material and a first waveguide formed of a second material and positioned on the first substrate. The first waveguide includes a plurality of branches and is configured to polarize light beams that propagate through the first waveguide. The IOC further includes a second substrate formed of a third material, the second substrate coupled to or positioned on the first substrate. The IOC further includes a plurality of straight waveguides formed in the second substrate, each of the plurality of straight waveguides optically coupled to a respective branch of the plurality of branches of the first waveguide. The IOC further includes a plurality of electrodes positioned proximate to the plurality of straight waveguides, the plurality of electrodes configured to modulate the phase of light beams that propagate through the plurality of straight waveguides.

Abstract: In an example, a mode-locked laser includes a resonator cavity having a saturable absorber, a hollow core fiber coupled to the saturable absorber, and an optical amplifier optically coupled between the hollow core fiber and an output coupler. The mode-locked laser further includes a first pump laser and a wavelength division multiplexer coupled to the first pump laser. The wavelength division multiplexer is configured to couple light from the first pump laser into the resonator cavity to pump the optical amplifier. The mode-locked laser is configured to generate a pulse waveform at a repetition rate of approximately 100 MHz to 200 MHz.
