  • Apparatus and method for diminished bias error due to polarization mismatch
    Patent number: 10415971
    Abstract: Bias error in a resonant fiber optic gyroscope (RFOG) is diminished by reducing polarization mismatch between a polarization Eigenstate of optical signals propagating inside of a resonator of the RFOG and the polarization of optical signals being injected into the resonator of the RFOG. The polarization mismatch is reduced by filtering the optical signals circulating in the resonator and the optical signals injected into the resonator with common polarizers.
    Type: Grant
