<p>An optical coupling device (20) for connecting hollow core optical fiber coils in a fiber optic gyro system. An example fiber optic gyro system includes a recirculator (100) or an integrated optics chip (130), a fiber coil (83,22) of hollow core optical fiber with first and second ends, and a coupling device (20) that holds an end of the hollow core optical fiber in an enclosed cavity at some predefined distance from the recirculator or integrated optics chip. The coupling device includes a housing (24, 26) for rigidly holding the fiber end in position. The housing includes a cavity that receives the fiber end.</p> |
