CONSTANT OPTICAL POWER SENSOR USING A LIGHT SOURCE CURRENT SERVO COMBINED WITH DIGITAL DEMODULATION INTENSITY SUPPRESSION FOR RADIATION AND VIBRATION INSENSITIVITY IN A FIBER OPTIC GYROSCOPE |
摘要 |
Systems and methods for fiber-optic gyroscopes are provided. In one embodiment, a fiber-optic gyroscope comprises: a light source current servo coupled to a light source that transmits light through an optic path, wherein the light source current servo controls intensity of light through the optic path via a light source current drive that supplies current to power the light source; and an intensity control signal processor coupled to the optic path via a photo detector, wherein the intensity control signal processor outputs an intensity control signal to the light source current servo, wherein the intensity control signal is a function of intensity of light as received at the photo detector; wherein the light source current servo compares the intensity control signal against a stable analog voltage reference to adjust the light source current drive and drive optical power at the photo detector towards a constant level. |
