Silicon optical coupling assembly, silicon optical integrated module and integrated resonant fiber-optic gyroscope

Abstract

The invention relates to a silicon optical coupling assembly, a silicon optical integrated module and an integrated resonant fiber-optic gyroscope. The integrated resonant fiber-optic gyroscope comprises a silicon light integration module and a photonic crystal fiber. An integrated light source in the silicon optical integration module emits light, the light is divided into two paths from the waveguide to the integrated Y waveguide, and then the light reaches the silicon optical coupling assembly after passing through the integrated optical modulator; a part of light enters the detector through the silicon optical coupling assembly, and the other light is coupled into the photonic crystal fiber and then enters the fiber from the other end through the silicon optical coupling assembly to form circulating light, and part of the circulating light is reflected into the detector. After the integrated optical modulator receives feedback of the detector, optical frequency shift is locked on aforward and reverse resonance peak, a frequency shift difference value is a gyro output signal, and a position error is compensated through the lens and the optical fiber control assembly so as to reduce cavity loss. The silicon optical coupling assembly has the characteristics of no melting point and integration, miniaturization of the gyroscope is facilitated, the signal-to-noise ratio of the gyroscope is high, and the gyroscope has high practical application value.
