Digital closed loop optical fiber gyroscope with double-interferometer system

2014 
The invention discloses a digital closed loop optical fiber gyroscope with a double-interferometer system. The digital closed loop optical fiber gyroscope comprises a light source driver, a light source, a third beam splitter, a first angular speed sensing module, a second angular speed sensing module, an optical fiber ring and a logic circuit, wherein light emitted by the light source is divided into two beams of incident light after passing through the third beam splitter, and the two beams of incident light respectively enter the first angular speed sensing module and the second angular speed sensing module; the two modules uses the same optical fiber ring, so that two different interferometers are formed in the polarization maintaining optical fiber ring and respectively output signals; the logic circuit receives the signals and performs differential calculation to obtain speed information sensed by the interferometers. The digital closed loop optical fiber gyroscope disclosed by the invention controls a polarization state through a polarization beam splitting/combing device through the same polarization maintaining optical fiber ring, so that the two interferometers in different polarization states are formed in the optical fiber ring; the two polarization states are separated, so that the light-based double-polarization double-interferometer system is implemented, and the precision of the digital closed loop optical fiber gyroscope can be obviously improved, and the intensity noise of the light source is suppressed.
