A clock system for a fiber optic gyroscope is provided that includes a highly-tunable clock for the bias modulation and a separate asynchronous high-speed clock for the photodetector sampling. By separating the two clocks rather than using two derivatives of the same clock, the clock system and method can provide both the tunability objective of the bias modulation clock and the high-speed objective of the sampling clock, while using readily available, lower performance, radiation-hardened electronics parts.
