Description

Dual-polarization optical fiber gyroscope with dead-end optical power recycling function
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to a dual-polarization optical fiber gyroscope capable of recycling dead-end optical power.
Background
The fiber-optic gyroscope is sensitive to the rotation angular velocity of a carrier, is mainly used for inertial navigation and attitude control of a motion carrier, and is increasingly applied to multiple important fields such as flight navigation, automobile automatic driving, robot control and the like. Along with the expansion of the application field, the market puts higher and higher demands on the gyro precision, the most important of which is the improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio and the stability, and the two indexes are respectively evaluated by Angle Random Walk (ARW) and zero Bias Instability (BI) and are core indexes of the fiber-optic gyro.
Generation of fiber optic gyroscope interference signals based on the optical Sagnac effect, with interference phase

The detection of the rotation signal can be realized by converting the interference phase into the interfered light intensity signal I.

WhereinI 0The input light intensity signal attenuated by the optical path is determined by the input light power of the light source and the loss on the optical path.

Figure 233002DEST_PATH_IMAGE005
The stability of the gyroscope is determined for the non-reciprocal phase error.
First, the gyro signal-to-noise ratio is explained, and as can be seen from equation (1), the signal intensity is proportional to the input light intensity.
In general, the noise of the fiber-optic gyroscope is shot by a detector and the relative intensity noise of a light sourceAcoustic and thermal phase noise, etc. when the light intensity is low, the ultimate sensitivity of the fiber-optic gyroscope is shot noise

Bandwidth is acquired for the signal.
Signal to noise ratio of gyroscopeRCan be expressed as
Figure 467806DEST_PATH_IMAGE010
----------------------(4)
It can be seen that the higher the optical power reaching the detector, the higher the gyro signal-to-noise ratio. Under the condition of constant optical path loss, the most effective means for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the gyroscope is to improve the input optical power of the gyroscope. The traditional scheme is to improve the light intensity of the light source, but the light source with high power is often higher in price, and the power consumption of the gyroscope can be improved, so that the difficulty is brought to the development of a navigation system. Therefore, the light intensity of the detector is improved on the premise of not changing the light power of the light source, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the gyroscope is improved, and the practical significance is greater.
In the conventional fiber optic gyroscope, in order to ensure the reciprocity of the optical path, a 3dB coupler needs to be installed behind the light source, as shown in fig. 1, half of the light enters the dead end through the coupler, and the scattering loss occurs. If can use thePart of light is recycled and reused, and scattered loss light is changed into signal light, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the gyroscope can be improved on the premise of not changing the output light intensity of the light source
Figure 732565DEST_PATH_IMAGE012
And (4) doubling.
The stability of the gyroscope (or called zero-bias instability) is mainly limited by the non-reciprocal phase error in the optical path of the gyroscope
Figure 157861DEST_PATH_IMAGE013
. Such phase error is caused by modulation-demodulation and angular velocity interference
Figure 770721DEST_PATH_IMAGE014
Decoupling cannot be achieved, the stability of the gyroscope is greatly influenced, and the gyroscope can be restrained only through a good light path design. The nonreciprocal phase error mainly comprises a polarization error, Rayleigh scattering, a thermo-optic error, an elasto-optic error and the like, wherein the polarization-related error is the main error of the gyroscope.
As shown in fig. 1, an input light is filtered into a linearly polarized light by a polarizer and enters a polarization-maintaining fiber ring, and the fiber ring mainly transmits a linear polarization state (s-polarization state or p-polarization state). If the polarization state can be maintained over a fiber ring up to several hundred meters long, the polarization error is 0. However, in practical applications, due to the imperfection of the optical fiber and the influence of stress temperature, etc., the linearly polarized light will cross-talk to its vertical polarization state (e.g. from s polarization state to p polarization state), and the cross-talk of the polarization maintaining optical fiber can be indicated by the polarization cross-talkhEvaluation was about 10-5And/m. Because the refractive indexes of two polarization states of the polarization-maintaining fiber are different (s state and p state are respectively recorded as n)oAnd n ise
The crosstalk light and the intrinsic light have different phase differences, thereby generating a polarization error.
The traditional solution for suppressing polarization errors is to increase the extinction ratio of the polarizer to suppress the light intensity in the vertical polarization state, but the polarizer with a high extinction ratio usually requires a complicated process and higher cost. For single polarization fiber-optic gyroscope, its polarizationError of
Figure 64299DEST_PATH_IMAGE015
Can be estimated by the following equation:
Figure 449144DEST_PATH_IMAGE016
-------(5)
wherein,pis the degree of polarization of the input light,

In order to determine the extinction ratio of the polarizer,

in order to achieve the polarization crosstalk of the optical fiber,Lis the fiber loop length.
If the light path design is adopted, the requirement of the single-polarization gyroscope on a polarizer with a high extinction ratio is reduced, the polarization error is effectively inhibited, and the method has great significance for the development of a fiber-optic gyroscope with high cost performance.

The light path diagram of the present invention is shown in fig. 2.
The working principle of the invention is as follows:
the light emitted by the light source is divided into 2 parts by the coupler, and the light is directly transmitted and coupled.
Taking the panda-type polarization maintaining fiber shown in FIG. 3 as an example, the X-axis is the fast axis of the fiber, and the refractive index n thereofoLow, the electric field component of s wave is parallel to X axis, Y axis is the slow axis of optical fiber, its refractive index neThe higher, the electric field component of the p-wave is parallel to the Y-axis.
Firstly, analyzing the light of the straight-through arm of the coupler, converting the straight-through light into linearly polarized light through the first polarizer, twisting the polarization main shaft of the polarization-maintaining fiber behind the first polarizer by 45 degrees (as shown in fig. 3), gradually transitioning from the linearly polarized light of 45 degrees to elliptically polarized light and circularly polarized light along the length direction of the polarization-maintaining fiber due to the birefringence of the polarization-maintaining fiber, and when the propagation distance exceeds the decoherence length LdAnd then the light is converted into s-state linearly polarized light (s wave) and p-state linearly polarized light (p wave) which are incoherent with equal amplitude, and the s-state linearly polarized light and the p-state linearly polarized light are respectively transmitted along the optical fiber birefringence main shaft and enter the polarization beam splitter. Coherence length LdIs determined by the following formula,
Figure 219468DEST_PATH_IMAGE020

Figure 946749DEST_PATH_IMAGE023
In order to maintain the birefringence difference of the polarization maintaining fiber,
Figure 40607DEST_PATH_IMAGE024
the polarization beam splitter can reflect s-waves and transmit p-waves, and unlike the conventional beam splitter, the beam splitter projects end-pigtails twisted by 90 degrees for interconversion of s-waves and p-waves.
The s-wave is reflected by the polarization beam splitter, enters the optical fiber ring clockwise, is transmitted in the optical fiber ring in the form of s-wave, is converted into p-wave before returning to the beam splitter, is transmitted from the polarization beam splitter, and returns to the first polarizer in the polarization state of the p-wave.
After transmitting through the polarization beam splitter, the p wave projected behind the first polarizer enters the fiber ring counterclockwise, is converted into s wave, is transmitted in the fiber ring in the form of s wave, is reflected to the polarization beam splitter, and returns to the first polarizer in the polarization state of the s wave.
Note that the incident s-wave propagates in the reflected fiber ring as an s-wave, and the transmission returns to the first polarizer as a p-wave. The incident p-wave is transmitted into the fiber ring, propagates in the ring as an s-wave, and is reflected back to the first polarizer as an s-wave. The phase evolution is as follows:

is the modulation phase. As can be seen from the above equation, clockwise and counter-clockwise light experience equal optical paths with phases other than the modulation phase
Figure 894720DEST_PATH_IMAGE032
Besides, only the sagnac phase shift to be demodulated is differed
Figure 174523DEST_PATH_IMAGE033
And phase error
Figure 961214DEST_PATH_IMAGE034
And the mutual difference of the optical path structures is realized. The two beams re-establish coherence before returning to the first polarizer, but due to the phase difference they are reconstructed into elliptically polarized light, the ellipticity of which is determined by the phase difference
Figure 476509DEST_PATH_IMAGE035
It was determined that demodulation of the phase can be achieved by polarization detection, as shown in fig. 4.
When a sinusoidal modulation is used in the case of,
Figure 396536DEST_PATH_IMAGE036
I 1in order to obtain the intensity of the light after detection,I 0in order to input the light intensity,
Figure 909557DEST_PATH_IMAGE037
is a 1 st order bessel function of the modulation depth. When the input light intensity is kept constant, the phase can be calculated by measuring the light intensity after detection.
The light of the coupling arm is analyzed, similar to the straight-through light, the polarization main axis of the polarization-maintaining optical fiber behind the second polarizer is twisted by 45 degrees, and after the light is transmitted to the decoherence length, the light is converted into s-state linearly polarized light (s wave) and p-state linearly polarized light (p wave) which are incoherent with equal amplitude, and the s-state linearly polarized light and the p-state linearly polarized light (p wave) are respectively transmitted along the optical fiber birefringence main axis and enter the polarization beam splitter.
The s-wave is reflected by the polarization beam splitter, enters the fiber loop counterclockwise, is converted into a p-wave, is transmitted in the fiber loop in the form of a p-wave, and returns to the second polarizer in the form of a p-wave from the transmission port of the polarization beam splitter.
The p wave transmits through the polarization beam splitter, enters the fiber ring clockwise, is transmitted in the fiber ring in the form of p wave, is converted into s wave after transmission is completed, is reflected by the polarization beam splitter, and returns to the second polarizer in the form of s wave.
The phase evolution is as follows:

in a similar manner, the first and second substrates are,

Figure 573701DEST_PATH_IMAGE041
in order to be the phase of the light counterclockwise,L 2the length of fiber coupling the second polarizer to the polarizing beam splitter. As can be seen from the above equation, clockwise and counter-clockwise light experience equal optical paths with phases other than the modulation phase
Figure 538246DEST_PATH_IMAGE042
Besides, only the sagnac phase shift to be demodulated is differed
Figure 333027DEST_PATH_IMAGE043
And phase error
Figure 516663DEST_PATH_IMAGE044
And the mutual difference of the optical path structures is realized. Similarly, demodulation of the phase is accomplished by a 45 ° polarization analyzer.
Figure 387798DEST_PATH_IMAGE045
And the phase calculation is realized by measuring the light intensity after detection.
The only difference between the optical path of the through arm and the optical path of the coupling arm is that the through arm light is transmitted in the form of s-wave in the optical fiber ring, and the coupling arm light is transmitted in the form of p-wave in the optical fiber ring. Because the ring length of the optical fiber ring is generally hundreds of meters and far longer than the decoherence length of the light source, the fact that the straight arm and the coupling arm are not coherent is firstly ensured, and light combination in the coupler is only superposition of intensity. By the technology of using the double polarized light channels simultaneously, the light intensity reaching the detector is doubled compared with the traditional fiber-optic gyroscope, and the signal-to-noise ratio is increased
Figure 636377DEST_PATH_IMAGE046
And about 40% of the total weight.
The mutual crosstalk between s-wave and p-wave on the optical fiber ring is mainly caused by factors such as optical fiber defects, temperature, stress and the like, and as the optical fiber ring is hundreds of meters long, the coupling probability of s-wave to p-wave is equal to that of p-wave to s-wave in statistics, namely the coupling amplitude is close. And because p wave refractive index is high, propagation constant is large, s wave refractive index is low, propagation constant is small, when s wave couples to p wave, the phase of coupled wave is greater than the phase of main wave, namely the phase difference is positive, when p wave couples to s wave, the phase of coupled wave is less than the phase of main wave, namely the phase difference is negative.
The error caused by such polarization crosstalk is the main component of the optical path error, and can be approximated as
Figure 969269DEST_PATH_IMAGE047
When the two light beams are superimposed in intensity,
Figure 783641DEST_PATH_IMAGE048
------------------(11)
the cancellation of errors is realized, so that the stability of the gyroscope is greatly improved, as shown in fig. 5.
