Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of fiber optic gyroscopes and optical measurements, and relates to an ultra-high precision zero drift range optimization method based on fiber ring pigtail strain control. Background Art

[0002] Fiber optic gyroscope is a high-precision angular rate sensor based on Sagnac effect. Compared with traditional mechanical gyroscope, fiber optic gyroscope has no rotating parts and wear parts, and has the advantages of short response time, strong vibration and shock resistance, low cost, long life, large dynamic range and simple production process. Compared with laser gyroscope, fiber optic gyroscope does not require ultra-high precision optical processing, and has outstanding advantages such as low power consumption and good reliability. Therefore, fiber optic gyroscope is widely used in navigation and guidance in military aviation, aerospace and navigation fields.

[0003] The fiber-optic sensitive ring is one of the core components of the fiber-optic gyroscope and is known as the "brain" of the fiber-optic gyroscope. In the actual operation of the fiber-optic gyroscope, both internal heating and temperature disturbances in the external environment will affect it. When a section of optical fiber in the fiber-optic sensitive ring has a time-varying temperature disturbance, unless the section of optical fiber is located at the midpoint of the fiber-optic sensitive ring's geometric structure, a non-reciprocal phase shift will inevitably occur. This non-reciprocal phase shift cannot be distinguished from the phase shift caused by rotation, causing the fiber-optic gyroscope to have a large drift error, which directly affects its output accuracy.

[0004] The physical symmetry of the fiber optic sensitive ring describes its related physical and material properties, including the material's temperature coefficient, temperature distribution, and the symmetry of thermal strain distribution. Under the influence of the temperature field, thermal strain will lead to the deterioration of physical symmetry, thereby causing the Mohr effect and the Shupe effect at the same time. These effects significantly promote the thermal drift in the fiber optic gyroscope system. At present, in the manufacturing process of the fiber optic sensitive ring, quadrupole, octupole and hexadecanopole symmetrical winding are mainly used to ensure the midpoint symmetry of the structural position, so as to ensure the symmetry of the physical field distribution as much as possible.

[0005] In 2017, Liu Bohan and others from the 707th Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation proposed to compensate for the stress of the sensitive fiber loop by changing the colloid modulus, bending radius or winding tension of the specific number of turns of the pigtail, effectively reducing its non-reciprocity error. (A method for compensating the number of turns of the pigtail stress of the fiber optic gyroscope loop, CN 201711351950.9)

[0006] In 2020, Huang Zhongwei of Beijing Sizhuoborui Technology Co., Ltd. proposed adding temperature sensors and piezoelectric ceramics to the fiber optic gyroscope test system, winding the pigtail of one side of the fiber optic sensitive ring on the piezoelectric ceramic, and controlling the piezoelectric ceramic in real time according to the sensitive angular rate information and temperature information when the gyro system is working, so as to apply stress to the pigtail to compensate for the zero drift of the fiber optic gyroscope. (Fiber optic gyroscope with stress compensation, CN 202010586507.5)

[0007] In 2022, Liu Bohan and others proposed to fix the fiber length compensator on the pigtail of the fiber sensitive ring. When the fiber optic gyroscope output drift is detected, the length of the outer fiber ring is changed by adjusting the linear expansion coefficient of the expansion and contraction axis core in the fiber length compensator, thus realizing the online adjustment of the fiber pigtail of the fiber optic gyroscope. (Fiber optic gyroscope ring pigtail compensation method and fiber length compensator, CN202210915632.5)

[0008] The above methods for detecting thermal drift of optical fiber sensitive rings all place the optical fiber sensitive rings on the gyro system for system-level testing. However, such testing has high noise and is easily affected by environmental interference. In addition, system-level testing can only give the final system performance but cannot reflect the impact of the optical fiber sensitive ring on the system performance. On the other hand, the above methods optimize the zero drift performance of the optical fiber sensitive ring by controlling the pigtail stress at different temperature points. It is impossible to accurately and quantitatively control the output stress size, and thus it is difficult to meet the increasing demand for zero drift optimization of the optical fiber sensitive ring.

[0009] In view of the problem that the current zero drift optimization of optical fiber sensitive rings is complicated in operation and cannot accurately compensate stress at all temperature points to achieve the best zero drift optimization, the present invention discloses an ultra-high precision zero drift optimization method based on strain control of optical fiber ring pigtails. Based on the principle of controlling the stress of the optical fiber sensitive ring pigtail to adjust its physical symmetry and thus optimize zero drift, the electric-controlled displacement stage is used to continuously and accurately apply stresses of different magnitudes to the pigtail on one side of the optical fiber sensitive ring at each temperature point under a continuous temperature change field to achieve the goal of optimizing its zero drift performance. It has significant advantages such as accurate quantitative optimization of zero drift at different temperature points and simple operation steps. Summary of the invention

[0056] The first coupler 102, the second coupler 301 and the third coupler 303 are all polarization-maintaining couplers. The splitting ratios of the first polarization-maintaining coupler 101 and the second polarization-maintaining coupler 301 are both 99:1, and the splitting ratio of the third polarization-maintaining coupler 303 is 50:50.

[0057] The auxiliary interferometer module 20 adopts a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and the refractive index of the single-mode optical fiber used is 1.456.

[0058] The fiber optic sensitive ring 501 is wound with panda-type polarization-maintaining optical fiber.

[0059] The temperature change of the temperature box 504 during the full temperature test of the optical fiber sensitive ring 501 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the specific process is: first keep the temperature at 25℃ for 20 minutes; then cool down to -45℃ at a temperature change rate of 1℃ / min, and it takes 70 minutes to cool down; then keep the temperature at -45℃ for 60 minutes, and then heat up to 70℃ at a temperature change rate of 1℃ / min, and it takes 115 minutes to heat up; finally keep the temperature at 70℃ for 60 minutes, and the full temperature test is over.

[0076] Step 10: After the adjustment is completed, read the thermal strain at this temperature point and calculate the direction and magnitude of the stress F that needs to be applied to the optical fiber sensitive ring to optimize the zero drift. min , since the magnitude of the applied stress is controlled by the electric-controlled translation stage, it can be converted into the magnitude of the displacement distance of the electric-controlled translation stage, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0077] Step 11: At this temperature point, the electro-controlled displacement stage is used to precisely apply stress F to the pigtail on one side of the optical fiber sensitive ring. min .

[0078] Step 12: Perform a secondary zero drift forecast Z3 and compare it with the set zero drift optimization target Z2.

[0079] Step 13: Determine whether the temperature point of this zero drift optimization is the zero drift optimization of the optical fiber ring under the full temperature test.
