Zusammenfassung: | A resonator fiber optic gyroscope (RFOG) that includes at least one laser, a resonator and a resonator hopping control system is provided. The resonator is in operational communication with the at least one laser to receive a clockwise (CW) laser light and counterclockwise (CCW) laser light produced by the at least one laser. The resonance hopping control system is in communication with an output of the resonator and the at least one laser. The resonance hopping control system is configured to control an output of the at least one laser to periodically unlock, hop and lock frequencies of the laser light traveling in the CW and CCW directions in the resonator to resonance frequencies of the resonator to mitigate bias errors due to resonance asymmetries. |
