Description

Forward and reverse simultaneous measurement device of common-light-path fiber-optic gyroscope ring
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber measurement, and particularly relates to a forward and reverse simultaneous measurement device of a common-path optical fiber gyroscope ring.
Background
In the interference type fiber optic gyroscope, the length of the polarization maintaining fiber adopted by the fiber optic gyroscope spiral ring is hundreds of meters to thousands of meters, so that the long-distance fiber needs to be wound into a multi-turn fiber optic gyroscope annular coil. The optical fiber gyro ring is not ideal (slight difference of refractive index distribution) in the manufacturing process of the polarization maintaining optical fiber, and is also influenced by external disturbance (such as microbending, torsion, compression, tension) and the like, and a plurality of defect points which can generate crosstalk are inevitably formed due to welding of an optical fiber fusion splicer, adhesion of different structures and the like. And the defect points can bring polarization crosstalk in the transmission process, and energy coupling introduced by the polarization crosstalk is shown as sensing errors of the fiber-optic gyroscope. The performance of the whole optical fiber gyroscope is directly determined by the quality of the process for winding the optical fiber gyroscope by using the spiral ring. Because the optical fiber gyroscope is based on the working mode of Sagnac interference, the optical path symmetry characteristic in the optical path structure of the optical fiber gyroscope is very important to keep. The forward transmission light and the reverse transmission light in the fiber-optic gyroscope ring can eliminate the error of the system only through the completely same optical path information, and the accurate navigation is carried out. The inconsistency of the optical path of the forward transmission light and the reverse transmission light in the fiber optic gyroscope ring becomes an important factor influencing the performance of the fiber optic gyroscope.
Some solutions have been proposed to reduce the nonreciprocal effect of the fiber optic gyroscope ring, and in particular to improve and evaluate the optical path symmetry of the fiber optic ring. In 2010, xi Yong Zhou, a sixteenth institute of the ninth institute of China aerospace science and technology group, discloses a symmetrical winding method for the midpoint of an optical fiber ring (Chinese patent application No. 201010013547.7). The invention obtains the midpoint of the optical fiber by calculation, winds the optical fiber according to a centrosymmetric method, can strictly ensure the midpoint symmetry of the optical fiber after winding the optical fiber ring, and better solves the temperature performance of the optical fiber ring. The fiber-optic gyroscope adopting the method can well reduce the full-temperature coefficient of the fiber-optic gyroscope. In 2012, Yandwig et al, Beijing aerospace university, disclosed a method for estimating polarization crosstalk and evaluating symmetry of optical fiber ring (Chinese patent application No. 201210359805.6). The method comprises the steps of obtaining the birefringence dispersion coefficient of the optical fiber to be tested by using a wavelength scanning method, establishing a polarization crosstalk estimation model, judging the central point of the optical fiber gyroscope spiral ring, obtaining polarization crosstalk data on the left side and the right side of the central point, and respectively determining the polarization crosstalk on the left side and the right side of the central point to analyze the symmetry of the optical fiber ring to be tested. In 2015, zhao et al, a research institute at forty-first of china electronic science and technology group, has invented a method for compensating the asymmetric length of an optical fiber ring for an optical fiber gyroscope (chinese patent application No. 201510282059.9), which measures the stress distribution of the optical fiber ring at different temperatures and calculates the stress integral difference to obtain the asymmetric length of the optical fiber ring.
The method for improving and evaluating the optical fiber ring only evaluates the optical path symmetry of the optical fiber ring by theoretical calculation and qualitative means, and needs to be further researched by quantitative and distributed technical approaches. An Optical Coherence Domain Polarization (OCDP) technology based on white light interference is gradually developed, and as a distributed polarization coupling measurement technology, the OCDP technology carries out optical path compensation through a scanning interferometer, and the position and the polarization coupling strength of defects inside a wound optical fiber ring can be reflected through interference signals. As early as 2011, Yangjun et al, Harbin engineering university, disclosed a device and method for improving polarization coupling measurement accuracy and symmetry of polarization maintaining fiber (Chinese patent application No. 201110118450.7). The optical fiber gyroscope ring to be measured is respectively measured in the forward direction and the reverse direction by adding the reversing mechanism with controllable light signals in the OCDP system. In 2016, Yangjun et al, Harbin engineering university, disclosed a symmetry evaluation device for spiral ring polarization coupling of fiber gyroscope (Chinese patent application No. 201610532372.8). The white light source used in the invention is averagely divided into two beams; respectively injecting the optical components with directivity into the forward direction and the reverse direction of the optical fiber gyro ring to be detected; then two sets of relatively independent interferometers sharing the same scanning platform scan; and finally, two polarization coupling measurement data with symmetrical scanning positions are obtained simultaneously by utilizing an optical coherence domain polarization measurement technology.
However, although the above-mentioned measurement method can realize forward and reverse measurements or evaluate the symmetry of the fiber-optic gyroscope, yandwig et al only measure an average value of polarization coupling between the left and right sections of the fiber-optic gyroscope ring, and have no way to realize distributed measurement; the controllable reversing mechanism of the Yangjun et al does not realize simultaneity, and cannot eliminate the influence caused by the inconsistency of environmental parameters such as temperature and the like when the time is inconsistent; although the directional optics method achieves simultaneous measurement in a strict sense, the interferometers used are relatively independent and the system consistency cannot be strictly controlled. Therefore, it is necessary to simplify the structure of the simultaneous measurement optical path, achieve strict consistency of the measurement optical path, and further provide real-time effective monitoring and necessary guidance for the selection of the optical fiber material and the improvement of the looping process.
The method is based on the optical coherence domain polarization measurement technology, and is used for simultaneously measuring the polarization coupling characteristics of forward/backward light transmission of the optical fiber gyro ring; a set of interference light paths are strictly shared to scan the optical fiber gyroscope spiral ring, so that the measurement inconsistency caused by different system structures is reduced to the maximum extent; the light source is averagely divided into two beams by adopting a coupler, and the two beams are respectively injected into two ports of the optical fiber gyro ring by utilizing an optical device with directivity. The device has simple structure and high integration level, and can reduce the influence of birefringence dispersion on polarization maintaining fiber measurement. The method helps to evaluate the symmetry performance of the optical fiber gyro ring and evaluate the inconsistency of the forward/reverse polarization coupling characteristics, and can be used for the manufacturing process optimization and the winding process improvement of the optical fiber gyro ring.
