Abstract
A pump light source provides pump light to an optical fiber arranged to guide the pump light to a first optical isolation device. Light output by the first optical isolation device is input to a wavelength division multiplexer. A gain fiber is connected to the wavelength division multiplexer and arranged to be optically pumped by the pump light such that the gain fiber emits broadband light that propagates to the wavelength division multiplexer. An output optical fiber is connected to the wavelength division multiplexer and arranged to guide a portion of the broadband light emitted by the gain fiber to a second optical isolation device for input to a fiber optic rotation sensor.
