CLOSED LOOP OPERATION OF BROADBAND RESONATOR OPTICAL GYROSCOPE USING SAWTOOTH PHASE MODULATIONS

Various examples of a closed-loop optical gyroscope are disclosed. The closed-loop optical gyroscope includes a broadband light source configured to generate broadband optical signal(s). The broadband optical signal(s) propagate in an optical resonator and are coupled in and out of the optical resonator by optical couplers. A phase modulator applies phase modulation to the optical signal(s) based on a sawtooth modulation signal. The optical signal(s) repropagate in the optical resonator in a different direction. The optical signal(s) are then received and analyzed to determine parameter(s) of the phase modulator. One or more processors configure the phase modulator based on the determined parameter(s).
