Sensing coil assembly and method for attaching a sensing coil in a fiber optic gyroscope

摘要

A sensing coil assembly and method for attaching a sensing coil to a support structure are provided for a fiber optic gyroscope. The method comprises affixing a preformed adhesive to a mating surface of a mounting structure, and coupling an inner surface of the sensing coil to the mating surface of the mounting structure via the preformed adhesive. The mating surface is substantially cylindrical or conical. The sensing coil assembly comprises a hub having a mating surface, an optical fiber coil having an inner surface encircling at least a portion of the mating surface, and a preformed adhesive pattern affixing the mating surface to the inner surface. The mating surface of the hub is substantially cylindrical or conical.
