HOLLOW CORE RESONANT FIBER OPTICAL GYROSCOPE

摘要

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.
