Problems solved by technology

[0003] Due to the randomness of the fiber torsion, the influence of the radial magnetic field on the output of the polarization-maintaining fiber optic gyroscope is also random, making it difficult to effectively compensate
In an ideal situation where there is no torsion, the PM fiber loop is insensitive to radial magnetic fields, which significantly reduces the magnetic field sensitivity of fiber optic gyroscopes

Embodiment 1

[0049] Take the untwisted optical fiber loop wound by the commonly used panda-type polarization maintaining fiber for untwisting. The fiber coating diameter is 250 μm, the cladding diameter is 125 μm, the refractive index is 1.4573, the fiber core diameter is 6 μm, and the refractive index is 1.46878. The diameter of the stress zone is 26 μm, the refractive index is 1.44388, the distance between the center of the cat’s eye stress zone and the fiber core is 21 μm, and the collected light intensity distribution is as follows Figure 6 As shown, its calibration curve is collected at an angular interval of 1°, such as Figure 7 shown. Identify the azimuth angle θ of the fast axis at the initial moment of winding the fiber 0 is 45°, the image sensor collects the light intensity distribution at a time interval of 1s, and recognizes that L is 4500μm at 100s, finds the L value corresponding to 49° on the calibration curve as 4450μm, and the L value corresponding to 50° is 4520μm, use...

Embodiment 2

[0054] In Example 1, the initially recognized fast axis position is 5°, and the L value is recognized as 3000 μm at the 100th second, and the L value corresponding to 24° is found to be 2900 μm, and the L value corresponding to 25° is found to be 3020 μm on the calibration curve. Use linear interpolation to calculate the corresponding θ value when L=3000μm:

[0055]

[0056] And it is recognized that L1>L2, that is, the azimuth angle at this time is -24.83°. Then the torsion angle is: Δθ=-24.83°-5°=-29.83°.

[0057] The computer 7 sends the angle information to the controller 8, and the controller 8 controls the back-twist table 2 to rotate clockwise by 29.83° to reduce the twist angle.

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and method for detecting and untwisting a panda-shaped polarization-maintaining optical fiber. device. The invention utilizes the side-view lens effect of the optical fiber, uses a light source to illuminate the side of the optical fiber vertically, and the light intensity distribution after the refraction of the optical fiber contains the torsion information of the optical fiber. The light intensity distribution is collected by an image sensor, and the computer performs data processing to extract the torsion angle information. The controller controls the rotation of the untwisting table to perform untwisting according to the angle information. The method combines the torsion detection and untwisting of the optical fiber to realize the untwisting while winding the fiber, thereby winding a low-twist polarization-maintaining optical fiber ring to meet the requirements of manufacturing low magnetic sensitivity optical fiber gyroscopes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and method for measuring the torsion degree of a panda-shaped polarization-maintaining optical fiber and winding a panda-shaped polarization-maintaining optical fiber ring with anti-twist. Background technique [0002] High-precision fiber optic gyroscopes mainly use polarization-maintaining fibers to wind fiber optic rings, and panda-type polarization-maintaining fibers are one of the most commonly used types of polarization-maintaining fibers. The magnetic field sensitivity of polarization-maintaining fiber optic gyroscope is closely related to the torsion degree of polarization-maintaining fiber when the fiber is wrapped around. The greater the degree of torsion, the more sensitive the fiber optic gyroscope is to the radial magnetic field. [0003] Due to the randomness of the fiber torsion, the influence of the radial magnetic field on the output of the polarization-maintaining fiber optic gyroscope is also random,...
