Abstract:
Systems and methods for resonance switching RFOGs with feed-forward processing are provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises: a fiber optic resonator; first and second laser sources coupled to the resonator, wherein the first source launches a first beam into the resonator and the second source launches a second beam into the resonator in an opposite direction; a first servo loop that locks the first beam to a first resonant mode of the resonator during a first state and to a second resonant mode of the resonator during a second state; a second servo loop that locks the second beam to the second resonant mode during the first state and to the first resonant mode during the second state; a feed-forward rate processor coupled to the servo loops that calculates a FSR average across a prior resonance switching cycle of resonant frequency measurements and applies the average to current measurements.
