    Abstract: A rectification error reducer for a fiber optic gyroscope, which is an intensity servo or compensator for reducing vibration effects in the optical signals caused by modulation at vibration frequencies induced by the gyroscope-operating environment. The vibration effects may be detected in signals from the photodiode output in amplitude form, which is used in a control system to null out optical intensity variations at the frequencies of vibration.

    Abstract: A hollow-core optical-fiber filter is provided. The hollow-core optical-fiber filter includes a hollow-core optical fiber having a first end-face and an opposing second end-face. The first end-face and the second end-face set a fiber length. The hollow-core optical-fiber filter also includes a first reflective end-cap positioned at the first end-face and a second reflective end-cap positioned at the second end-face. When an optical beam from a laser is coupled into one of the first end-face or the second end-face, an optical output from the opposing end-face has a narrow linewidth and low frequency noise fluctuations.

    Abstract: An exemplary resonator fiber optic gyroscope comprises a resonator having an optical fiber loop; a light source configured to generate a light beam; and an intensity modulation circuit coupled between the light source and the resonator. The intensity modulation circuit is configured to modulate the intensity of the light beam from the light source to output an intensity modulated signal to the resonator. The intensity modulation circuit is configured to produce the intensity modulated signal such that harmonics of the intensity modulated signal which overlap a primary wave of a counter-propagating light beam in the resonator have an amplitude below a predetermined threshold. Amplitudes below the predetermined threshold are negligible.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing modulation error correction. An example system applies common phase/frequency modulation to first and second laser beams, a first intensity modulation to the first modulated beam, and a second intensity modulation to the second modulated beam. Signals outputted are demodulated according to the frequency of the common phase/frequency modulation. Then the first of these demodulated signals is demodulated based on the frequency of the intensity modulation of the first beam, and the second of these demodulated signals is demodulated based on the frequency of the intensity modulation of the second beam. Then, rate of rotation is determined based on demodulated signals. Frequencies of the intensity modulations are unequal and not harmonically related, and intensity modulation encodes each light beam with a unique signature.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for compensating for nonlinear phase shift accumulation in an optical ring resonator. An example method includes sending a first beam in a clockwise direction around the optical ring resonator and sending a second beam in a counterclockwise direction around the optical ring resonator. Then, nonlinear phase shift accumulation of the first and second beams is compensated for within the optical ring resonator. Compensating includes creating a negative Kerr effect phase shift for each beam based on an estimate of accumulated positive Kerr effect.
