    摘要: A waveguide optical gyroscope (WOG) is disclosed, which may include: an emitter; an integrated interferometer disposed on a silica planar lightwave circuit (PLC) and comprising a multilayer waveguide loop disposed in a first cladding material and interposed between layers of at least a second cladding material having an index of refraction lower than an index of refraction of the first cladding material; a pump source configured to pump the first cladding material with a signal that compensates for a propagation loss in the multilayer waveguide loop; and a micro-optic component configured to receive an output of the emitter and to guide the output into the integrated interferometer.
