Fiber-optic loop structure wound in vertically symmetrical cross manner for fiber-optic gyroscope and winding method

Abstract

The invention discloses a fiber-optic loop structure wound in a vertically symmetrical cross manner for a fiber-optic gyroscope. The fiber-optic loop structure comprises a fiber-optic loop skeleton which comprises a wrapping post and a middle flange, wherein the middle flange is arranged at the periphery of the wrapping post, the middle flange is provided with a fiber passing notch, horizontally run-though bellmouth orifices are arranged on the wrapping post and the middle flange and are located at the symmetrical positions of the fiber passing notch, and a fiber outlet is formed on the middle flange. A vertically symmetrical crosswise winding method for the fiber-optic gyroscope comprises the following steps: 1, setting the midpoint of an optical fiber at the position of the fiber passing notch of a fiber-optic loop; 2, winding the optical fiber; and 3, leading the optical fiber into the fiber outlet. According to the invention, a fiber-optic coil is divided into an upper part and a lower part, and each of the two parts has one side which is free of structural restriction and is not compressed in conditions of vibration and temperature variation; and through cross winding, the coils at two sides both have forward and reverse optical fibers which are the same in length, so that temperature gradients in axial and radial directions have the same temperature modulation effect on the optical fibers.

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The current optical fiber coil winding mostly adopts the quadrupole symmetrical winding method. Although the optical path reciprocity is realized in the length of the optical fiber, the temperature-changing environment will generate a spatial temperature gradient, resulting in non-reciprocal errors in the optical path under temperature modulation.

In addition, the skeleton structure of the fiber ring that fixes the coil is mostly an "I"-shaped structure. The skeleton structure on the upp
