The invention belongs to a nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope detection method, and specifically discloses a nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope photomagnetic modulation detection system and a nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope photomagnetic modulation detection method. The nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope photomagnetic modulation detection system comprises a polarizer, a magnetic resonance gas chamber, a Faraday coil, an analyzer and a photoelectric detector, wherein the centers of the polarizer, the magnetic resonance gas chamber, the Faraday coil, the analyzer and the photoelectricdetector are sequentially positioned on the optical path of detection laser, the axis direction of the Faraday coil coincides with the optical path direction of the detection laser, the output end ofthe photoelectric detector is connected to a signal processing system, and the signal processing system drives the Faraday coil. According to the present invention, the signal output frequency of a signal generator is regulated to be equal to the design frequency of the Faraday coil, the magnetic resonance gas chamber is heated, the modulated laser signal is confirmed when the frequency of the output signal is the same as the frequency of the received drive signal of the Faraday coil, a lock-in amplifier is regulated so as to lock at the frequency of more than the Faraday coil modulation frequency, and then wave filtering treatment is performed; and with the method, the carrier ability of the detection laser and the integrity of the signal after the post-demodulation can be improved, andthe low-frequency noise of the gyroscope detection signal can be inhibited.
