Systems and methods for reducing polarization-related bias errors in RFOGS are described herein. In certain implementations, an RFOG system includes a fiber optic resonator, one or more laser sources, wherein light from the laser sources launches first and second optical beams into the fiber optic resonator in opposite directions, and an electro-optically tunable devices in the resonator path configured to modulate the phase difference between polarization components in the first and second optical beams as the optical beams propagate within the fiber optic resonator. The system further includes at least one photodetector, wherein the polarization components of the first and second optical beams are incident on the photodetector, wherein the at least one photodetector provides an electrical signal, and at least one processing unit configured to receive the electrical signal and calculate a rotation rate for the RFOG and provide a drive signal for the electro-optically tunable device.
