Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an automatic testing system and method for the gain and polarity of fiber optic gyroscopes, belonging to the field of fiber optic gyroscope testing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber optic gyroscopes, also known as fiber optic angular rate sensors, have advantages such as no moving mechanical parts, insensitivity to acceleration, wide dynamic range, small size, low cost, and low process requirements. They will be used in more and more application scenarios, so the future market demand is very large. Mass production or automated production technology of fiber optic gyroscopes has become one of the key aspects to reduce the production costs of fiber optic gyroscopes.

[0003] Traditional fiber optic gyroscope production and testing primarily rely on manual labor and external testing equipment for interventional testing, resulting in low production efficiency and inherent risks. Optical path assembly is a crucial step in fiber optic gyroscope production, and one of the most important parameters for evaluating its performance is optical path loss. Therefore, the forward channel optical power (gain) of the gyroscope must be measured during assembly, typically using an optical power meter or other testing equipment. This measurement process requires disconnecting the fiber, and factors such as the fiber optic cut angle can affect the measurement results, leading to significant errors in the measured optical power. This measurement process is not only risky but also extremely inefficient.

[0004] After long-term operation, the attenuation of the light source in a fiber optic gyroscope leads to changes in the forward channel gain, causing a decline in the gyroscope's phase-frequency characteristics, accuracy, and other performance indicators, or even rendering it unusable. Therefore, fiber optic gyroscope polarity is also an important parameter. Currently, the production process typically requires the entire gyroscope to be assembled before measurement can be performed. If an incorrect polarity is found at this stage, it is necessary to change the program or the Y-waveguide modulation line sequence, resulting in repetitive work. Furthermore, there is a lack of polarity testing methods during the assembly process. Summary of the Invention

[0056] Furthermore, the fiber optic gyroscope under test and the test system transmit data via an RS422 interface.

[0057] Furthermore, the fiber optic gyroscope gain measurement program is implemented as follows:

[0058] Introducing phase quantity ±φ based on the conventional modulation state sequence of fiber optic gyroscopes k Obtain a random modulation state sequence; the conventional modulation state sequence of the fiber optic gyroscope refers to the simulated square wave voltage sequence generated in the fiber optic gyroscope, in order to... Appear alternately in pairs, in the form: +π / 2, -π / 2, +π / 2, -π / 2, +π / 2, -π / 2, +π / 2, -π / 2....;

[0059] Introducing phase quantity The subsequent random modulation state sequence is in the form of: +π / 2, -π / 2, +(π / 2+φ k -(π / 2+φ) k ), +(π / 2-φ k -(π / 2-φ) k ), +π / 2, -π / 2...;

[0060] For +π / 2, -π / 2, +(π / 2+φ) k -(π / 2+φ) k ), +(π / 2-φ k -(π / 2-φ) k The effective interference optical power voltage signal of the fiber optic gyroscope forward channel within the random modulation state period is sequentially sampled by analog-to-digital conversion, and the sampled values ​​are marked as D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, and D6 by scaling factor values;

[0061] The forward channel gain P0 of the fiber optic gyroscope is obtained through scaling factor value conversion:

[0062]

[0063] The process is as follows:

[0064] Fiber optic gyroscope interferometer interference phase difference φ k The relationship between φ and the effective interference optical power is given by formula (1), where φ b For modulation depth, P(φ) b +φ k ) is φ b Interference phase difference φ at modulation depth k The corresponding optical power value can be calculated using a modulation and demodulation algorithm.

[0065]

[0066] In a conventional modulation state sequence, the modulation depth is Right now Where φ R The interference angular rate is caused by the external input angular rate of the gyroscope; therefore, from Equation 1, we can obtain:

[0067]

[0068]

[0069] in for The digital demodulated quantity corresponding to the modulation state is denoted as D1;

[0070] for The digital demodulation constant corresponding to the modulation state is denoted as D2;

[0071] Subtracting equation 2 from equation 3 yields equation 4:

[0072]

[0073] Similarly, a random modulation phase φ will be introduced. k The modulation state sequence + (π / 2 + φ k -(π / 2+φ) k ), +(π / 2-φ k -(π / 2-φ) k Substituting these values ​​into Equation 1, we can obtain the following:

[0074]

[0075]

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] In the formula: ΔF t-3τ ΔF t-2τ ΔF t-τ ΔF t These are the interference phase differences introduced by the external angular rate input at four adjacent modulation state times: t-3τ, t-2τ, t-τ, and t; φ k The phase variable is introduced randomly. Since the conversion time τ is usually on the order of 1 to 2 μs, ΔF can be considered as a small phase variable. t-3τ ΔF t-2τ ΔF t-τ ΔF t All are equal to and equal to the interference phase difference φ caused by the external input angular rate of the gyroscope. R , +(π / 2+φ k -(π / 2+φ) k ), +(π / 2-φ k -(π / 2-φ) k The digital demodulation constants corresponding to the modulation state are denoted as D3, D4, D5, and D6 respectively; subtracting equation 3 from equation 4 yields equation 7, and subtracting equation 5 from equation 7 yields equation 8.

[0079] D3-D4=-P0sinφ R cosφ k Equation (7)

[0080] D5-D6=P0sinφ k cosφ R -P0sinφ R cosφ k Equation (8)

[0081] Subtracting Equation 7 from Equation 8 cancels out the phase difference φ introduced by the external input angle rate. R Equation 9 can then be obtained;

[0082] P(2φ k )=(D3-D4)+(D5-D6)=P0sinφ k cosφ R Equation (9)

[0083] Combining Equation 4, we can obtain Equation 10;

[0084]

[0085] At this point, the forward channel gain P0 of the fiber optic gyroscope can be calculated.

[0086] Furthermore, the random modulation state sequence is generated by a random function generator, and the proportion of the random modulation state sequence in the fiber optic gyroscope's total modulation state sequence does not exceed 0.5%; the phase quantity range is less than

[0087] Furthermore, when generating the random modulation state sequence, flag information corresponding to the random modulation state is simultaneously assigned, including position information and modulation state information. When acquiring sampled values, the flags are judged, and if the flags meet the requirements, the corresponding sampled values ​​are processed.

[0088] Furthermore, the fiber optic gyroscope polarity measurement program is implemented as follows:

[0089] After the gyroscope under test is placed at rest, a positive phase difference signal is introduced through a gyroscope angular rate generator, based on the conventional modulation sequence of the fiber optic gyroscope, to induce this positive angular rate input. D7 is The digital demodulation constant corresponding to the modulation state, D8 is The digital demodulation constant corresponding to the modulation state is used to determine the difference between D7 and D8. If the difference is greater than 0, the fiber optic gyroscope polarity is positive; if the difference is less than 0, the fiber optic gyroscope polarity is negative.

[0090] Furthermore, the fiber optic gyroscope polarity measurement program is implemented as follows:

[0091] The phase difference signal is induced by introducing an input of an equivalent positive angular rate through a gyro angular rate generator. D9 is an introduction. The digital demodulation constant corresponding to the modulation state, where D 10 To introduce The digital demodulation constants corresponding to the modulation state, D9 and D 10 A negative difference indicates positive polarity, while a positive sign indicates negative polarity.

[0092] Example:

[0093] Appendix Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the modulation and demodulation principle for a conventional angular rate measurement device for automatic testing of fiber optic gyroscope gain and polarity. The modulation state sequence for conventional fiber optic gyroscope angular rate measurement is shown in Table 1. Within one demodulation cycle, by applying... The measured angular rate can be demodulated by modulating and sampling, and subtracting the odd and even values.

[0094] Based on the above principle of interferometer phase difference measurement, a gyroscope with an effective interferometric optical power of 21.2uW is used as the test object. The specific steps and data of gain measurement are described below.

[0095] Step 1: Generate the modulation state sequence shown in Table 1 in the gyroscope and apply it to the Y waveguide, where a small phase quantity is introduced. Taking π / 32, the half-cycle time of the square wave is the transit time τ = 1.2uS, and the proportion of random modulation states to the total number of modulation states is 1 / 1024.

[0096] Table 1 Modulation Sequence

[0097]

[0098] Step 2: The PFGA sequentially performs analog-to-digital conversion sampling on the detector voltage signal within the random modulation state period, and the sampled values ​​are marked as D3=1627, D4=896, D5=2035, and D6=1785.

[0099] Step 3: After subtracting the sampled values ​​of the odd and even random modulation states from the FPGA and performing integration, the gain measurement value D = (D3-D4) + (D5-D6) = 481 corresponding to the introduced π / 32 phase difference is obtained.

[0100] Step 4: Calculate the forward channel gain of the gyroscope, which is the effective interference optical power.

[0101] According to Equation 4, D1 = 625 and D2 = 623 are measured, so D1 - D2 = 2 can be calculated; according to the calculation formula, the gain P0 of the fiber optic gyroscope under test is calculated to be 22.02uW.

[0102] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the modulation and demodulation principle of a conventional angular gain measurement system for an automatic test system for fiber optic gyroscope gain and polarity.

[0103] In this embodiment, a method for testing the polarity of a gyroscope is as follows:

[0104] In this embodiment, a phase difference signal is introduced to replace the one caused by the external angular rate input. The values ​​were measured as follows: D7 = 8251, D8 = 5325, and D7 - D8 = 2926.

[0105] Since the measurement result is positive and the input phase is positive, the polarity of the gyroscope under test is positive, and the result is displayed on the LCD screen.

[0106] This invention enables the gain and polarity testing of eight gyroscopes in a single operation without relying on an external turntable or other testing equipment that generates angular velocity. This significantly improves production efficiency and reduces the risk of damaging the gyroscopes during testing, laying a solid foundation for the automated mass production and testing of fiber optic gyroscopes.
