Various embodiments may provide an optical gyroscope. The optical gyroscope may include a ring resonator, an input source configured to generate or provide a first light beam and a second light beam to the ring resonator, and a switching pathway having an input end and an output end coupled to the ring resonator, and may include a plurality of switches. The optical gyroscope may include a control circuit configured to control the plurality of switches to allow the first light beam to propagate from the input end to the output end along the switching pathway during a first time interval, and allow the second light beam to propagate from the input end to the output end along the switching pathway during a second time interval. The optical gyroscope may additionally include a detector loop configured to receive the first light beam and the second light beam from the ring resonator.
