Fiber-optic gyroscope based on single-mode single polarized photon crystal optical fiber

2012 
The invention discloses a fiber-optic gyroscope based on a single-mode single polarized photon crystal optical fiber. A broadband optical fiber light source emits polarized light; the polarized light enters a polarization-maintaining optical fiber coupler via a polarization-maintaining optical fiber; the polarized light is divided into two beams, wherein one beam enters a hollow head to be attenuated, and the other beam enters an optical phase modulator via a polarization-maintaining optical fiber; the light is divided into two beams by the optical phase modulator; the two beams of light are respectively output to two ends of a optical fiber sensitive ring via a single-mode single-polarization photonic crystal tail fiber in the optical phase modulator; the optical fiber sensitive ring is wound by a single-mode single-polarization photonic crystal optical fiber; the two beams of light are respectively spread clockwise and anticlockwise in the optical fiber sensitive ring; output light is returned back to the optical phase modulator to generate interference; interference light enters the polarization-maintaining optical fiber coupler to obtain an interference signal; and an optical detector detects the interference signal to obtain the rotation speed of the measurement system. According to the fiber-optic gyroscope disclosed by the invention, the polarization error of the fiber-optic gyroscope can be effectively reduced, the null shift of the fiber-optic gyroscope is reduced, and the mechanical performance and the temperature performance of the fiber-optic gyroscope are improved.
