Embodiment Construction

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] The French IXBlue company once proposed a relative intensity noise suppression method, that is, the optical path addition method. The optical path structure is as follows: figure 1 shown. The optical path structure includes ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) light source, polarizer, 50:50 polarization maintaining coupler, 95:5 polarization maintaining coupler, isolator, Y waveguide integrated optical device, polarization maintaining fiber ring and detector. The light emitted by the ASE light source passes through the polarizer to form polarized light, and is divided into two beams by a 50:50 polarization-maintaining coupler, one beam is used as signal light, and the other beam is used as reference light. : 5 polarization-maintaining couplers, the time difference between two beams of light is τ, and the suppression of relative intensity noise...

Abstract

The invention provides a light source relative intensity noise suppression device using a double polarization maintaining coupler, belonging to the technical field of fiber optic gyroscope. The lightsource relative intensity noise suppression device using the double polarization maintaining coupler comprises an ASE light source, a 2x2 polarization maintaining coupler, a Y-waveguide integrated optical device, a polarization maintaining fiber ring, a 95:5 polarization maintaining coupler and a detector. A 5% branch of the 95:5 polarization maintaining coupler and one branch of the 2x2 polarization maintaining coupler are welded together by a method of 90 degree melting point. The ASE light source is split into two paths of light by passing through the 2x2 polarization maintaining coupler; one path of the light is a signal light, which is divided into two paths after passing through the Y-waveguide integrated optical device and then enters into the polarization maintaining fiber ring forinterference, and the interference light is input to the 95:5 polarization maintaining coupler through the 2x2 polarization maintaining coupler; and the other path of the light is a reference light,which is input to the 95:5 polarization maintaining coupler after the 90 degree melting point. The polarization states of the interference light and the reference light are perpendicular; therefore, no interference occurs when the light is combined, and the optical power is superimposed; so that the suppression of relative intensity noise is realized; moreover, the invention has a simple structureand is easy to implement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fiber optic gyroscopes, and relates to a scheme for suppressing relative intensity noise of a light source using double polarization-maintaining couplers. Background technique [0002] At present, the light source used by high-precision fiber optic gyroscopes is a wide-spectrum light source, especially the development of high-power super-fluorescent erbium-doped fiber optic light sources has greatly improved the accuracy of fiber optic gyroscopes. The optical characteristics of the erbium-doped fiber optic light source include average wavelength, spectral width and optical power of the light source, which are closely related to the performance of the gyroscope. The average wavelength with good stability can improve the stability of the scale factor of the gyroscope, the wide spectral width of the light source can reduce the coherent noise, and the high optical power can improve the minimum detection sensi...
