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.

High-stable,double-pass forward superfluorescent fiber source based on erbium-doped photonic crystal fiber

A double-pass forward configuration superfluorescent fiber source (SFS) based on erbium-doped photonic crystal fiber (EDPCF) with a high intrinsic mean wavelength stability is presented. The main factors of SFS instability with temperature variation are analyzed. Optimization of the high-stable SFS is achieved by combining high-performance EDPCF, optimal fiber length, and source structure with fine-tuning pump power. The temperature dependence of the SFS mean wavelength has been reduced to below 0.077 ppm/°C with temperature variation from 70 to ?40 °C. To the best of our knowledge, this value is the closest to 0 ppm/°C in the reported references, and these new developments probably constitute an important step for high-accuracy interferometric fiber-optic gyroscope sources.

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.     

Bias error caused by broad-spectrum source and birefringence effect in fiber optical gyroscope

To analyze the bias error in the optical path of closed-loop polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber optical gyroscope (FOG), the interference signal term carrying only Sagnac phase shift in phase is divided into two types: one generated by interference between main wave-trains in the clock-wise (CW) direction and counter clock-wise (CCW) direction, and the other one generated by interference between secondary wave-trains in the CW and CCW direction. The residual term is discovered in the second kind, which is caused by synthetic effect of broad-spectrum source and birefringence effect in a FOG with the existence of crossovers. The main influencing factors and the effect on FOG performance of the bias error generated by the residual term is analyzed, and its suppression measures are promoted. Simulation result demonstrates that the bias error can be suppressed from about 0.02°/h to less than 2×10⁻⁴°/h at room temperature and its peak to peak value of variation with temperature can be suppressed to less than 4×10⁻⁴°/h, through matching birefringent fiber length and increasing the delay between modes of light source, which is small enough to meet the requirement of FOG with high performance.
