发明名称 Low noise resonator fiber optic gyro
摘要 A low-noise resonator fiber-optic gyroscope is provided. The low-noise resonator fiber-optic gyroscope includes at least one laser to output a reference optical beam, a first-optical-beam frequency controller to modulate the first optical beam at a first-modulation frequency, a second-optical-beam frequency controller to modulate the second optical beam at a second-modulation frequency to form a second-frequency-modulated optical beam, a fiber resonator having a counter-clockwise-input end configured to input the first-frequency-modulated optical beam and the clockwise-input end configured to input the second-frequency-modulated optical beam; a first-frequency demodulator to demodulate an optical beam output from the clockwise-input end of the fiber resonator; and a second-frequency demodulator to demodulate an optical beam output from the counter-clockwise-input end of the fiber resonator. The first-modulation frequency and the second-modulation frequency are adjusted so that sideband noise spectrum centered on the first and second modulation frequencies are from each other.

主权项 1. A low-noise resonator fiber-optic gyroscope, comprising: at least one laser configured to output a reference optical beam used to form at least a first optical beam and a second optical beam; a first-optical-beam frequency controller to modulate the first optical beam at a first-modulation frequency to form a first-frequency-modulated optical beam; a second-optical-beam frequency controller to modulate the second optical beam at a second-modulation frequency to form a second-frequency-modulated optical beam, wherein at least one of the first-frequency-modulated optical beam and the second-frequency-modulated optical beam is frequency-shifted from the reference optical beam; a fiber resonator having a fiber resonator coil with a clockwise-input end and a counter-clockwise-input end, the counter-clockwise-input end configured to input the first-frequency-modulated optical beam and the clockwise-input end configured to input the second-frequency-modulated optical beam; a first-frequency demodulator to demodulate, at a first-demodulation frequency, an optical beam output from the clockwise-input end of the fiber resonator; and a second-frequency demodulator to demodulate, at a second-demodulation frequency, an optical beam output from the counter-clockwise-input end of the fiber resonator, wherein the first-demodulation frequency equals the first-modulation frequency and the second-demodulation frequency equals the second-modulation frequency, and wherein the first-modulation frequency and the second-modulation frequency are adjusted with respect to each other so that, on the optical beams output from the fiber resonator: sideband noise spectrum centered on the first-modulation frequency is offset in frequency from the second-modulation frequency, and sideband noise spectrum centered on the second-modulation frequency is offset from the first-modulation frequency.
