Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a resonant fiber optic gyroscope demodulation system and method for locking the resonant cavity of an optical passive resonator through external coherent light interference, so as to suppress the laser frequency noise in the resonant fiber optic gyroscope. Background technique [0002] The resonant fiber optic gyroscope is an inertial angular velocity sensor based on the Sagnac effect. It uses the frequency difference between the clockwise and counterclockwise resonant frequencies of the resonant cavity caused by the Sagnac phase shift caused by rotation to measure the rotational angular velocity. Compared with interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes, resonant fiber optic gyroscopes use lasers to transmit multiple times in a resonant cavity to amplify the Sagnac effect and achieve the same ultimate sensitivity as the interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes by using shorter fibers. It has the characteristics of high precision, high tem...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] From the perspective of system miniaturization, a semiconductor laser with a smaller volume is more suitable as a system light source for a resonant fiber optic gyroscope, but the semiconductor laser itself has greater frequency noise than a fiber laser, and the PDH laser frequency locking technology is limited Due to the nois
