The present invention is further illustrated below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.
As shown in Figure 1, the present invention includes white light source 1, polarization-maintaining beam splitter 2, gravity sensitive device 3, phase-modulator 4 and photodetector 5; White light source 1 is connected with an inlet end of polarization-maintaining beam splitter 2 by polarization maintaining optical fibre, two endpiece of polarization-maintaining beam splitter 2 are connected by two inlet ends of polarization maintaining optical fibre and gravity sensitive device 3 respectively, two endpiece of gravity sensitive device 3 are connected by two inlet ends of polarization maintaining optical fibre and phase-modulator 4 respectively, and the endpiece of phase-modulator 4 is connected with photodetector 5 by polarization maintaining optical fibre; Being connected of white light source 1, polarization-maintaining beam splitter 2 and gravity sensitive device 3 all is that 0 degree of polarization maintaining optical fibre is connected by shaft, and is output as the line polarisation and is on the birefringence axis of tail optical fiber.
As Fig. 2, shown in Figure 3, described gravity sensitive device 3 comprises elastic plate 3-1, supporter 3-2, polarization maintaining optical fibre sensor coil 3-3 and housing 3-4; Elastic plate 3-1 is by supporter 3-2 central supported, and polarization maintaining optical fibre sensor coil 3-3 is also gluing fixing in the upper and lower surface coiling of elastic plate 3-1 respectively by two polarization maintaining optical fibres; Two inlet ends of polarization maintaining optical fibre sensor coil 3-3 are connected with two endpiece of polarization-maintaining beam splitter 2, and two endpiece of polarization maintaining optical fibre sensor coil 3-3 are connected with two inlet ends of phase-modulator 4; Polarization-maintaining beam splitter 2 is fixed on the housing 3-4 with phase-modulator 4 usefulness laser bonding, is evacuated in the shell.
The light signal that white light source 1 sends enters two polarization maintaining optical fibre sensor coil 3-3 up and down of gravity sensitive device 3 through the beam splitting device, because the effect of gravity, make elastic plate 3-1 that deformation take place, make two the polarization maintaining optical fibre sensor coil 3-3 up and down that stick on the elastic plate 3-1 be subjected to different stress simultaneously, polarization maintaining optical fibre sensor coil 3-3 above the elastic plate 3-1 is subjected to a tension, polarization maintaining optical fibre sensor coil 3-3 below the elastic plate 3-1 is subjected to a compressive stress, cause that polarization maintaining optical fibre length and refractive index change, two ways of optical signals has produced a phase differential, introduce a phase modulated signal by lithium niobate list polarized waveguides device, convert electric signal to by the PIN pipe at last, and read and demodulation by lock-in amplifier.
It is the SLD light source of 30nm that white light source 1 can adopt spectrum width, the polarization-maintaining beam splitter that polarization-maintaining beam splitter 2 adopts with wave band, and phase-modulator 4 can adopt lithium niobate list polarized waveguides device, and photodetector 5 can adopt the PIN pipe to carry out the photosignal conversion.
Adopt wide spectrum light source to build gravity meter, need interfere the length difference of arm to carry out extremely strict control two.The coherent length of SLD light source is 20 μ m---50 μ m, therefore need interfere the length difference of arm to be controlled in this scope to two.
Take all risk insurance folk prescription case simultaneously, Transmission Fibers all adopts polarization maintaining optical fibre, the polarization-maintaining beam splitter that polarization-maintaining beam splitter 2 adopts with wave band, phase-modulator 4 adopts lithium niobate list polarized waveguides device, optical fiber connection between the device all is that 0 degree of polarization maintaining optical fibre is connected by shaft, in order to control transmission polarisation of light error.
