Abstract
A fiber management assembly for a multi-axis fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) includes a mounting block. The mounting block includes an integrated optical circuit (IOC) mounting feature configured to permit mounting thereon an IOC. The mounting block further includes coil mounting features configured to permit mounting at least two optical fiber coils at the mounting block with the at least two fiber coils aligned in substantially different directions in three-dimensional space. The mounting block further includes an exterior surface having at least one substantially exterior, curved zone onto which connecting segments of respective optical fibers between the IOC and respective coils of the at least two optical fiber coils are routed and affixed.
