Detailed Description
The embodiments of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, but the invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered by the claims.
The first embodiment is as follows:
as shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment discloses a method for calibrating output power of an optical fiber gyroscope, which includes the following steps:
when the optical part of the optical fiber gyroscope is assembled and the electrical part is not assembled, correcting the output power of the optical part of the optical fiber gyroscope and storing the output power correction parameters of the optical part; and when the optical part and the electrical part of the optical fiber gyroscope are assembled, calling the output power correction parameters to correct the electrical part of the optical fiber gyroscope.

According to the method and the system for calibrating the output power of the optical fiber gyroscope, when the optical part of the optical fiber gyroscope is assembled and the electrical part is not assembled, the output power of the optical part of the optical fiber gyroscope is calibrated, and the output power calibration parameters of the optical part are stored; when the optical part and the electrical part of the optical fiber gyroscope are assembled, the output power correction parameters are called to correct the electrical part of the optical fiber gyroscope, the calibration action of the success rate is completed before the optical fiber gyroscope is assembled integrally, the calibration difficulty is reduced, the optical fiber gyroscope caused by the calibration failure of the optical part device of the optical fiber gyroscope is avoided being scrapped, and the production efficiency is improved.
Example two:
the second embodiment is a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and is different from the first embodiment in that the method for calibrating the output power of the optical fiber gyroscope is refined:
as shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, the fiber optic gyroscope to be calibrated includes an optical portion and an electrical portion, where the optical portion includes a laser, a coupler, a Y waveguide, and a fiber ring, which are connected in sequence, and the optical portion is further added with a storage unit; the electricity part includes laser instrument drive module, photoelectric detector, signal conditioning module, AD conversion module, logic processing module and drive circuit module, logic processing module respectively with AD conversion module, drive circuit module and laser instrument drive module connect, AD conversion module signal conditioning module, photoelectric detector, coupler connect gradually, drive circuit is connected with the Y waveguide.
The structure of the Y waveguide is shown in fig. 3, the Y waveguide is a multifunctional optical module including a lithium niobate crystal, wherein the lithium niobate is a substance whose refractive index changes with the applied voltage, so the delay of light after transmitting the lithium niobate crystal is adjusted by adjusting the voltage applied to the lithium niobate crystal, as shown in fig. 4, within a certain range, the voltage and the delay on the lithium niobate crystal are in a linear relationship, wherein the main components of the first optical path and the second optical path are the lithium niobate crystal, the two sides of the first optical path and the second optical path are electrodes, and the adjustment of the delay of the lithium niobate crystal is realized by adjusting the voltage applied to the two ends of the electrodes.
In the production process of the optical fiber gyroscope, the production process of an optical part is firstly carried out, and the production process mainly comprises the following steps:
firstly, sequentially welding a laser, a coupler and a Y waveguide;
secondly, welding the Y waveguide and the optical fiber ring;
and thirdly, configuring the optical device of the optical part with a storage device for storing relevant matching parameters, wherein the storage device is preferably configured with a memory of SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or an EEROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable read only memory).
In this embodiment, the specific steps of the disclosed calibration method for the output power of the optical fiber gyroscope are as follows:
firstly, correcting an optical part:
as shown in fig. 5, the correction process of the optical portion is as follows:
after the optical part is assembled (the electronic part is not assembled), the optical part needs to be individually calibrated by using a tool of the substitute electronic part to ensure the consistency of the optical part, as shown in fig. 6, the bias voltage of the Y waveguide is in a linear relation with the light intensity within a certain range, so that the laser drive can be set to a default value after the system is powered on, and the delay of the Y waveguide to two paths of light is adjusted until the maximum output value of the photoelectric conversion module, and at this time, the phase deviation of the optical system can be considered to be eliminated.
At this time, whether the light intensity value acquired by the photoelectric conversion module is the same as a preset light intensity value is judged, wherein the preset light intensity value can be acquired according to the previous product debugging process and can also be acquired according to the optical path attenuation calculation. Wherein, calculating according to the optical path attenuation specifically comprises: acquiring a light intensity value of the emitted laser of the first optical channel and an attenuation coefficient of the first optical channel, and calculating a first actual light intensity value when the emitted laser of the first optical channel is input into the Y waveguide; and obtaining the light intensity value of the laser emitted by the second optical channel and the attenuation coefficient of the second optical channel, calculating a second actual light intensity value when the laser emitted by the second optical channel is input into the Y waveguide, and calculating a preset light intensity value according to the first actual light intensity value, the second actual light intensity value and the loss of the first actual light intensity value in the Y waveguide.
If the difference is different, the optical module needs calibration, and if the difference is the same, the calibration is not needed, and the adjusted bias driving quantity of the Y waveguide and the driving current of the laser are directly recorded.
Keeping the bias drive of the Y waveguide unchanged under the condition of needing calibration, adjusting the drive current of the laser, and reducing the drive current output by a laser drive circuit if the light intensity is greater than a preset value; and if the light intensity is smaller than the preset value, increasing the driving current output by the laser driving circuit until the light intensity acquired by the photoelectric conversion module is equal to the preset value. At this time, the adjusted bias driving amount of the Y waveguide and the driving current of the laser are recorded. By the time the calibration is completed, the optical part and the parameters thereof can be used for the subsequent assembly of the optical fiber gyroscope into the whole body
Second, correction of electrical part:
as shown in fig. 7, after the optical fiber gyro is assembled as a whole, the power-on logic processing module in the control module of the electrical part first reads initial values of the laser driver circuit output and the Y waveguide bias adjustment from the memory unit of the optical part, and initializes the laser driver circuit and the Y waveguide driver circuit with the initial values. Thereby completing the initial initialization of the optical fiber gyro. Then the whole corresponding calibration work that carries out of fiber gyroscope, because the optics part has accomplished the calibration, later calibration time can shorten greatly, can save calibration time on the one hand, can promote production efficiency on the one hand by a wide margin.
In summary, in the method and system for calibrating the output power of the optical fiber gyroscope, when the optical part of the optical fiber gyroscope is assembled and the electrical part is not assembled, the output power of the optical part of the optical fiber gyroscope is calibrated, and the output power calibration parameters of the optical part are saved; when the optical part and the electrical part of the optical fiber gyroscope are assembled, the output power correction parameters are called to correct the electrical part of the optical fiber gyroscope, the calibration action of the success rate is completed before the optical fiber gyroscope is assembled integrally, the calibration difficulty is reduced, the optical fiber gyroscope caused by the calibration failure of the optical part device of the optical fiber gyroscope is avoided being scrapped, and the production efficiency is improved.
