光纤弯曲对干涉式光纤陀螺性能的影响

为研究光纤弯曲对干涉式光纤陀螺性能的影响,选取常用的单模光纤、保偏光纤、光子晶体光纤及保偏光子晶体光纤为研究对象,建立了光纤弯曲与光纤陀螺性能的相关理论模型。以高精度光纤陀螺应用为背景,选取掺铒超荧光光纤光源,改变光纤弯曲半径,测出了经过光纤样品后的光功率、平均波长、光谱宽度的变化和平均波长波动,在此基础上分析了弯曲半径对光纤陀螺标度因数和随机游走系数的影响。理论分析和实验结果表明,采用光子晶体光纤时,光纤弯曲对光纤陀螺性能几乎没有影响,采用其他光纤时,需要严格控制光路中的光纤弯曲半径。     

Radiation-induced attenuation self-compensating effect in super-fluorescent fiber source

The compact super-fluorescent fiber source(SFS) output spectra variations at different pump currents and under different dose of gamma-ray radiation were measured and compared respectively. The radiation-induced attenuation(RIA)self-compensating effect in SFS based on photo-bleaching was found and the general mathematic model of SFS output spectra variations was made. The radiation-induced background attenuation(RIBA) at the pump wavelength was identified to be the main cause of the total output power and spectra variations and the variations can then be compensated by active control of the pump power to enhance the self-compensating effect. With closed-loop feedback control of pump current,double-pass backward(DPB) configuration and spectrum re-shaping technology, an SFS prototype was made and tested.The mean-wavelength stability of about 87.4 ppm and output power instability of less than 5% were achieved under up to200 krad(Si) gamma-ray irradiation.
