Description

Multiple optical multiplication device and method for optical fiber gyroscope light path
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to a device and a method for multiple optical multiplication of an optical path of a fiber-optic gyroscope.
Background
The inertial navigation system is an autonomous navigation device capable of providing real-time multi-azimuth information of a carrier, and does not need external information in the working process. The fiber-optic gyroscope, as one of the core devices of the inertial navigation system, has a great influence on the accuracy of the inertial navigation system, and the overall performance of the inertial navigation system is mainly dominated in most cases. Therefore, the high-precision inertial navigation system puts higher requirements on the precision and the performance of the used fiber-optic gyroscope. The fiber-optic gyroscope has the advantages of high theoretical precision, all solid state, high reliability and the like, and the high-precision fiber-optic gyroscope is widely applied to the fields of deep space, diving, strategy and the like as the first choice of the application of the high-precision inertial navigation system.
The fiber-optic gyroscope has undergone rapid development since birth, and a mature theory and technology system has been formed up to now. In order to meet the more complex and severe application requirements, especially military applications, researchers in various countries have conducted intensive research on the improvement of the precision of the fiber optic gyroscope. The traditional method for improving the precision of the fiber-optic gyroscope comprises two modes of hardware and software, wherein the hardware mode mainly comprises the steps of improving the stability of a light source, suppressing circuit noise, controlling a loop winding mode, shielding magnetic and the like, and the software mode mainly comprises the steps of calculating algorithm optimization, temperature compensation and the like. However, as the technology matures, the traditional methods have reached a bottleneck, and the contradiction between cost and effect is increasingly prominent.
In addition, the precision of the fiber-optic gyroscope can be improved to a certain extent by increasing the length of the optical fiber and the diameter of the optical fiber ring to accumulate the nonreciprocal phase difference generated by the angular velocity, but the fatal defect of increasing the length of the optical fiber is that the environmental adaptability to temperature and the like is greatly reduced, because the internal stress of the optical fiber ring is not uniform and the nonreciprocal phase difference is generated asymmetrically due to environmental factors after the longer optical fiber is wound into a ring, so that the improvement of the precision is limited. Therefore, there is a need for a device and a method for improving the precision of a fiber-optic gyroscope without reducing the environmental stability of the fiber-optic gyroscope, and maintaining the volume of the fiber-optic ring substantially unchanged, which have important engineering significance in the technical improvement of the fiber-optic gyroscope.
