Abstract

This invention describes a gyroscope using a fiber coil which is coupled using integrated on-chip 3×3 and 2×2 couplers in coplanar as well as non-coplanar (NCP) configuration along with photodetectors, light sources, and processing electronics using Si, SOI, and InGaAs-on-Si, and other substrates. In one embodiment, a high sensitivity gyroscope using a combination of 2×2 and 3×3 waveguide couplers is described. The signals from three photodetectors can be used to generate feedback signals to produce high sensitivity. Still in another embodiment, usage of multiple quantum well (MQW) waveguides is illustrated. MQW waveguides can be tuned to achieve phase modulation/correction in couplers.
