Influence of Er-doped superfluorescent fiber source's spectrum-stability on the SNR of fiber optic gyroscopes

The output spectrum-stability of Er-doped superfluorescent fiber source (SFS) was measured by changing the temperature around the excited Er-doped fiber (EDF). With the experiment results, the influences of the SFS's spectrum-stability on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) were simulated. The simulated results demonstrate that the SNR of FOG will change no matter the power, mean wavelength or the spectral bandwidth of the light output from the Er-doped SFS is changing. The results show that the changing of SNR caused by the output power's variation is three orders of magnitude larger than that caused by the variation of mean wavelength or bandwidth. And the main factor influencing the stability of FOG's SNR is the temperature-stability of the output power of Er-doped SFS.

Effect of radiation-induced mean wavelength shift in optical fibers on the scale factor of interferometric fiber optic gyroscope at a wavelength of 1300 nm

In order to analyze the effect of wavelength-dependent radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) on the mean transmission wavelength in optical fiber and the scale factor of interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes (IFOGs), three types of polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers is tested by using a ⁶⁰Co γ -radiation source. The observed different mean wavelength shift (MWS) behaviors for different fibers are interpreted by color-center theory involving dose rate-dependent absorption bands in ultraviolet and visible range and total dose-dependent near infrared absorption bands. To evaluate the mean wavelength variation in fiber coil and the induced scale factor change for space-borne IFOG under low radiation dose in space environment, the influence of dose rate on the mean wavelength is investigated by testing four germanium (Ge) doped fibers and two germanium-phosphorus (Ge-P) codoped fibers irradiated at different dose rates. Experimental results indicate that the Ge-doped fibers show the least mean wavelength shift during irradiation and their mean wavelength of optical signal transmitting in fibers will shift to shorter wavelength in low-dose-rate radiation environment. Finally, the change in the scale factor of IFOG resulting from the mean wavelength shift is estimated and tested, and it is found that the significant radiation-induced scale factor variation must be considered during the design of space-borne IFOG.

An innovation based random weighting estimation mechanism for denoising fiber optic gyro drift signal

In Interferometric Fiber Optic Gyroscope (IFOG), the diminution of random noise and drift error is a critical task. These errors degrade the performance of IFOG. In this paper, a modified adaptive Kalman gain correction (AKFG) algorithm is proposed to denoise IFOG signal. The covariance matrix of innovation sequence is estimated using weighted average window method in which the weights are randomly generated in the range [0, 1]. Innovation based random weighted estimation (IRWE)-AKFG is applied to denoise the IFOG drift signal. The Kalman gain is adaptively updated using the covariance matrix of innovation sequence. The proposed algorithm is applied for denoising IFOG signal under static and dynamic environment. Allan variance method is used to analyze and quantify the stochastic errors in IFOG sensor. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with Conventional Kalman filter (CKF) and the simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm is an efficient algorithm for denoising the IFOG signal.

Construction and characterization of interferometric fiber optic gyroscope (IFOG) with erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA)

Gyroscopes, which sense changes on absolute angular rate and are classified into Interferometric Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (IFOG), Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLG) and Micro- Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Gyroscopes, are critical components of the navigation systems together with accelerometers. Being dominant over other types of gyroscopes in terms of performance and cost, IFOGs have widely been used in metrology and in particular defense/aerospace industry. This paper covers the design details of both optical and electronic components of IFOG prototype, the sensing mechanism of which is based on Sagnac Phase Shift, constructed in Optics Laboratory of National Metrology Institute of TURKEY as absolute angular rate sensor. In the prototype IFOG, open-loop configuration was applied, a single mode telecommunication optical fiber and an EDFA pumped by DFB laser emitting at 1549.0 nm were used as sensing coil and broadband source, respectively. The voltage data carrying Sagnac Phase Shift was extracted by a phase tracking circuit consisting of an active RC band pass filter, an amplifier with adjustable gain and an AD630 balanced modulator chip which was operated as lock-in. For the prototype IFOG, peak to peak noise of 8 (°/h) and bias stability of 1.57 (°/h) were attained respectively. Moreover the scale factor of 13.83 (°/h)/mV was derived with deviation of 0.73%.

Nonlinear empirical mode predictive drift extraction on fiber optical gyroscope

The integration drift of inertial unit is a fatal error on navigation and attitude determination system. Many approaches have been developed to extract and eliminate it. A novel fiber optical gyroscope drift extraction algorithm was proposed in this paper to ameliorate the performance of fiber optical gyroscope by extracting the trend component as the compensation. In this algorithm, the attitude quaternion of stellar sensor and the output of fiber optical gyroscope were imported into a nonlinear empirical mode predictive algorithm to extract the drift component of gyroscope. Combing the advantages of predictive filter and empirical mode decomposition in nonlinear signal processing, our proposal is more precise in drift extraction and data approximation. Software simulation and hardware verifications on gyroscope were launched, in which the results had proven the capability of the algorithm.

Three-mode optomechanical system for angular velocity detection

We propose a scheme for measuring the angular velocity of absolute rotation using a three-mode optomechanical system in which one mode of the two-dimensional(2 D) mechanical resonator is coupled to an optical cavity. When the total system rotates, the Coriolis force acting on the 2 D mechanical resonator due to the absolute rotation will affect the mechanical motion and thus change the phase of the output field from the cavity. The angular velocity of the absolute rotation can be estimated by monitoring the spectrum of the output field from the cavity via homodyne measurement. The minimum measurable angular velocity, which is determined by the noise spectrum, is calculated. The working range of the gyroscope for measuring angular velocity is discussed.
