Abstract
A system includes a modulation controller that generates a modulation output signal that is employed to generate a modulation output signal to control light signals in a fiber optic coil. The modulation controller receives light signal feedback from the fiberoptic coil and controls the light signals in the fiber optic coil with the modulation output signal based on the light signal feedback. A transit time clock in the modulation controller has a clock speed to control a time period of the modulation output signal generated by the modulation controller. The time period is set to a period less than an optical transit time, tau, of the light signals applied to the fiber optic coil and returned from the coil after being applied.
