摘要:
An interference sensor passes radiation from a source and a polariser to a loop of optical fiber so that radiation beams circulate in opposite directions around the loop and interfere. The loop contains an optical phase modulator which imposes an optical modulator on the radiation beams circulating on the loop. A converter detects the interfering and modulated beams and generates an interference signal which is then processed by an analyser. The interference in the loop is dependent on rotation of the loop and therefore analysis of the interference signal permits that rotation to be measured. In the present invention, the interference signal is (i) sampled at a frequency different from that of the optical modulation, or (ii) electronically modulated in the analyser at a frequency different from that of the optical modulation, or (iii) optically modulated in the loop at a second optical modulation frequency. The analysis in the analyser may be in the frequency domain (i.e. consideration being given to the frequency of the interference signal) or in the time domain (i.e. independent of frequency).
摘要:
In an optical fiber gyroscope, the sensitivity thereof is optimized with a phase bias afforded by utilizing the phase characteristics of an optical branching/coupling unit. Further, the fluctuation of the intensity of a light source and the error and secular change of the phase characteristics of the optical branching/coupling unit are compensated by an electronic circuit. Moreover, an optical fiber loop is located in a heat insulation casing so as not to be affected by an ambient temperature change, thereby to prevent the drift of the optical fiber gyroscope attributed to an temperature change. Thus, the optical fiber gyroscope of high measurement accuracy is provided.

A signal processing circuit of an optical fiber gyro comprises a memory for storing data measured in the signal processing circuit in accordance with angular velocities applied to an optical fiber sensing loop at preparatory stage, and the applied angular velocities. In operation, the memory is accessed in accordance with data obtained in the signal processing circuit at an operation stage, so that an angular velocity is read from the memory without complicated calculation.
