This method can be used for in-situ calibration of the three-axis magnetic fields in a SERF gyroscope. A magnetic field of a certain magnitude is applied to the x-axis and y-axis by a signal generator coil, while the pump light is turned off. The precession signal of electrons under the action of the magnetic field is obtained. Finally, by reading the precession frequency of the electron precession signal in the magnetic field, the magnitude of the applied resultant magnetic field is obtained. The angle between the x-axis and y-axis magnetic fields can be obtained through trigonometric functions. Similarly, the angles between the x-axis and z-axis, and between the y-axis and z-axis, can be obtained. Background Technology

[0002] Spin-Exchange Relaxation-Free (SERF) based electronic spin gyroscopes possess extremely high theoretical angular velocity measurement sensitivity, reaching up to 10. -8° / s / Hz 1 / 2 The SERF gyroscope's magnitude far surpasses that of other types of gyroscopes. It not only possesses extremely high theoretical angular velocity measurement sensitivity but also offers advantages in terms of size and cost, making it a significant development direction for new inertial measurement technologies. Furthermore, the SERF gyroscope has wide applications in fundamental physics research, particularly in areas such as charge-parity-time symmetry breaking and the detection of anomalous interaction forces.

[0003] The research and development of SERF gyroscopes is of great significance in inertial navigation and the exploration of cutting-edge physics problems. Recent studies have shown that magnetic fields are the main factor limiting the further development of the accuracy of current spin gyroscopes, and the non-orthogonality of the three-axis magnetic fields is a non-negligible influencing factor. However, existing methods for calibrating the non-orthogonal angles of the three-axis magnetic fields are either complex to operate, requiring additional devices, or make certain assumptions, and cannot obtain complete and accurate information on the non-orthogonal angles of the three-axis magnetic fields. These limitations greatly restrict their application in SERF gyroscopes. For SERF gyroscopes that pursue long-term stability performance, how to achieve complete calibration of the non-orthogonal angles of the three-axis magnetic fields without changing the device has become an urgent problem to be solved.
