Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for reducing intensity modulation-induced rotation rate measurement error in a resonator optical gyroscope. The method includes tapping an intensity modulated light beam, directing a portion of the tapped light beam toward a photo detector, outputting from the photo detector a signal proportional to the amplitude variation of the light beam, amplifying the signal, and then providing the signal to the intensity modulator as a control input. Intensity modulation-induced error is reduced by an amount proportional to the gain of the feedback loop.
