Abstract

The present invention relates to optical gyro, and is especially fiber laser gyro comprising fiber laser, detector and differential frequency processing circuit. It features that the fiber laser consists of semiconductor laser with tail fiber, single-frequency distributed feedback fiber laser DFB, fiber ring and fiber coupler, with the fiber ring comprising wavelength division multiplexer, isolator, gain fiber and fiber coupler. Two fiber rings with gain fiber forms two independent resonant cavities, into which the DFB injects seed laser to lock their work wavelength. The isolator makes the laser work in single-direction traveling wave state, and the laser transmission direction is clockwise in one ring and counterclockwise in the other. The present invention eliminates spatial hole burning in homogeneously expanded gain medium and interlock effect caused by back scattering, and makes laser in two ring cavities work in narrow-line width single-longitudinal mode state.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to an optical gyroscope, in particular to a fiber laser gyroscope. Background technique: [0002] As an important sensor, the gyroscope has important applications in military and civilian applications such as positioning, orientation, and navigation of satellites, aircraft, ships, and automobiles. A new generation of optical gyroscopes based on the Sagnac effect (such as laser gyroscopes, interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes, etc.) has attracted people's research interest. As the first generation of products, the laser gyroscope has entered practical application in the field of medium and low precision. It adopts the difference frequency signal detection method, the electronic processing is more convenient, and the signal processing accuracy is higher; but the discrete optical components and defects such as short life, large volume, and heavy weight affect the application of laser gyroscopes in high-precision fields. As the s...
