Hollow core fiber RFOG having symmetric M-(or W-)shape, three-(or two-)mirror configurations. These symmetric configurations help to cancel out polarization error induced bias of the RFOG even when light of the unwanted ESOP is present. The RFOG resonator with optical components forming substantially small cross-coupling angles between their polarization axes, and/or with polarizing elements inserted into the resonator, and/or with resonator mirrors having identical reflectivity for light of different polarization states, can effectively reduce the polarization mode induced bias error.
