Mathematical modeling of random coupling between polarization modes in single-mode optical fibers: XII. Dependence of the zero drift in fiber ring interferometers in orthogonal polarization modes on the range of temperature variation in an optical fiber

Temperature dependences of the zero drift in a fiber ring interferometer (FRI) without a polarizer in the presence of random inhomogeneities in a single-mode optical fiber in the FRI loop are obtained by numerical simulation. The results are compared with known experimental data. It is shown that FRIs using a superluminescent diode as a source of nonmonochromatic radiation and a loop made of a single-mode optical fiber with weak linear birefringence can find application as low-accuracy fiber-optic gyroscopes and FRIs with a loop made of a single-mode optical fiber with strong linear birefringence can be used as medium-accuracy fiber-optic gyroscopes.     

Single-mode fiber gyroscope with three depolarizers

In this letter we present a single-mode fiber gyroscope (FOG) with low long-term drift. Only single-mode fiber components except for three fiber depolarizers were used. A simplified mathematic model has been proposed to explain the bias stability of the gyro. Several open-loop and closed-loop FOGs with 0.1–0.5°/h drift have been demonstrated.     

Fundamentals of the interferometric fiber-optic gyroscope

This paper reviews the basics of the interferometric fiber-optic gyroscope: fundamental principle based on Sagnac effect, importance of reciprocity and single-mode propagation, analysis of coherence and polarization problems, signal processing techniques. It also describes the technological progresses of guided-wave components (single-mode optical fiber, semi-conductor diode source, integrated optics, in-line fiber components). Finally, recent trends like multi-axis configurations and rare-earth doped fiber source are presented.     

Analysis of bias thermal stability of interferometer fiber-optic gyroscope using a solid-core polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber

Bias thermal stability of a fiber-optic gyroscope using polarization-maintaining photonic crystal (PM-PCF) was studied. The thermal sensitivity of birefringence in PM-PCF and polarization cross talking in fiber coil was measured. Using an OCDP method, the polarization cross talking causing phase error of the fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG) was analyzed. The contrast experiment result of the FOGs with the PM-PCF coil and PMF coil showed that using PM-PCF instead of PMF can improve the FOG’s bias thermal stability by about 50 %.     

Noise analysis of solid-core polarization-maintaining photonic interferometer fiber optic gyroscope

We report the prediction of the random walk coefficient of a solid-core single-mode polarization-maintaining photonic interferometer fiber optic gyroscope, a novel sensor that exhibits reduced thermal sensitivity owing to the stable temperature coefficient use of a photonic fiber. The random walk coefficient of the photonic interferometer fiber optic gyroscope is limited by detector thermal noise for detected powers under 1 μW and excess noise above 1 μW. Above this power level, the random walk coefficient is found to be independent of detected power and asymptotically to be 0.0029°/ \(\sqrt h \). This result is verified by the experiment.     

The improved defects detection method of optical fiber winding

The paper discusses mainly how to check the defects such as fiber-stacking fiber-cut and fiber-uneven with an improved method in the process of fiber optic gyroscope coil winding. In the paper, it is aimed at the gray level image of optic fiber coil winding to get binary image using mathematical morphology and to get optic fiber position image using the improved moving target detection algorithm, on the base of the optic fiber position image, to figure out the relative position of adjacent optic fiber. Through the value of the relative position of adjacent optic fiber, the status of optic fiber winding can be estimated. Experimental results show that the entire image processing and defect detection method can effectively distinguish the defects in the process of optical fiber coil winding.     

Investigation of polarization nonreciprocity in dual-interference fiber optical gyroscope

The dual-interference fiber optical gyroscope (DIFOG) is a novel gyroscope that makes use of both birefringent axes in a polarization maintained fiber to generate two Sagnac interferometers. The Sagnac effect is doubled in the DIFOG, resulting in the same precision for a smaller fiber coil and shorter fiber, so it has some potential applications in miniaturized and low-cost situations. The mechanism of polarization nonreciprocity (PNR) in the DIFOG is investigated and the influence of PNR is analyzed theoretically. Simulation results based on the theoretical analysis indicate that PNR error causes the bias of interference signals and the output of the DIFOG to vary with the inherent nonreciprocal phase that arises from the optical configuration. The experiment verifies the theoretical and simulation results.     

Finite element model of thermal transient effect for crossover-free fiber optic gyros

In this paper we investigate the dependence of the bias in the crossover-free interferometric fiber optic gyro versus the temperature gradient applied on the coil. Our approach is to use a finite element method to do thermal analysis to the crossover-free coil. We describe the winding pattern including the location and the length of each turn of the coil. With those data, we are able to compute the bias error induced by the thermal transient effect. On the other hand we study the Shupe effect by temperature excitations from different direction on a fiber coil. In addition a 6-layer of crossover-free gyroscope coils were manufactured. The Shupe test data of the crossover-free coils is taken to verify thermal sensitivity of the coils.

Study of the distributed <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-parameter of an anisotropic optical fiber in a multi-layer coil of a fiberoptic gyroscope

An investigation has been performed on the distributed H-parameter in an anisotropic optical fiber with an elliptical strained shell in a multilayer coil of a fiberoptic gyroscope. Each fiber length is ~50 m and there are five layers. Studies have been carried out using three variants of coils. In the first variant, the layers were permeated by epoxy; in the second coil, the layers were permeated with silicon-based material; and, in the third variant, the coils were wound up without impregnation (using dry winding). The different influence of compressive mechanical stresses on the distributed H-parameter of the studied fiber has been observed depending on the variant of coil impregnation.

We propose a method for the real-time measurement of the reflection at both splicing points between a photonic bandgap fiber coil and conventional fiber during the process of fusion splicing in a photonic bandgap fiber optical gyroscope(PBFOG), using the interference among the secondary waves, which arise from the fusion splicing points and the mirror face produced by intentionally cutting the bear end of the coupler. The method is theoretically proven and experimentally verified in a practical PBFOG, and it is significant for inline examination of the fusion splicing quality and evaluation of the PBFOG performance.
