TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a temperature test and evaluation system for a polarization-maintaining optical path assembly of an optical fiber gyroscope. BACKGROUND
[0002] The polarization-maintaining optical path assembly is composed of a fiber coil and a Y waveguide integrated optical device, fiber coil double-end tail fibers, Y waveguide double-end tail fibers and two polarization-maintaining fusion points, and forms a Sagnac interferometer in the optical fiber gyroscope. In the polarization-maintaining optical path assembly, an optical wave signal is split at the Y waveguide, propagates in opposite directions through the fiber coil, and then is combined at the Y waveguide to become an interference signal. The optical fiber gyroscope realizes the sensitivity to angular velocity by taking the interference signal as a carrier.
[0003] The polarization-maintaining optical path assembly is a core sensitive assembly of the optical fiber gyroscope, and its performance directly affects the precision of the optical fiber gyroscope. The temperature characteristics of the polarization-maintaining optical path assembly are affected by the coiling process of the fiber coil, the Y waveguide, the fiber coil double-end tail fibers, the Y waveguide double-end tail fibers and the fusion quality of the two polarization-maintaining fusion points. In particular, the temperature characteristics of the fiber coil restrict the full-temperature zero-bias stability of the optical fiber gyroscope. The Y waveguide integrated optical device has the functions of polarization, bias and modulation of light waves, and is also easily affected by temperature. Compared with the test of only one optical device, such as the fiber coil and the Y waveguide, the test of the polarization-maintaining fusion points, the polarization-maintaining tail fibers (including the fiber coil tail fibers and the Y waveguide tail fibers) and the coiling process cannot be ignored. For high-precision optical fiber gyroscopes, under the full-temperature condition of a temperature range of-40℃ to +60℃ and a temperature change rate of 1℃ / min, the compensated precision requirement is not more than 0.01° / h (100s, 1σ), and the influence of the polarization-maintaining fusion points and the coiling process cannot be ignored. The previous temperature performance screening of only a single optical device cannot meet the temperature requirements of high-precision and very high-precision optical fiber gyroscopes.
[0004] The fiber coil double-end tail fibers and the Y waveguide double-end tail fibers are polarization-maintaining optical fibers. The polarization-maintaining tail fibers are coiled and fused, and the stresses at the two ends are different, so they are also easily affected by temperature. The temperature performance screening of the fiber coil and the Y waveguide alone ignores the coiling process of the fiber coil double-end tail fibers and the Y waveguide double-end tail fibers and the fusion quality of the two polarization-maintaining fusion points, and is not sufficient to represent the temperature characteristics of the entire polarization-maintaining optical path assembly. Therefore, in order to ensure the full-temperature precision of the optical fiber gyroscope and improve the qualification rate of the optical fiber gyroscope, it is more practical to screen the temperature characteristics of the entire polarization-maintaining optical path assembly.
[0005] At present, many scholars judge the temperature performance of the fiber ring by establishing a fiber ring temperature test and evaluation system. A high-precision optical waveguide full-temperature screening test method is established to test the temperature performance of Y waveguide integrated optical devices. These detection methods are only for temperature screening of single devices, and it is difficult to evaluate the temperature index of polarization maintaining optical path components from a single aspect, and it cannot accurately represent the temperature performance of the fiber optic gyroscope. Therefore, it is particularly important to build a polarization maintaining optical path component temperature test and evaluation system. SUMMARY

The testing equipment includes a test fixture 8, test cables 9, a power supply box 10, a testing unit 11, and a temperature chamber 12. Before improvement: the fiber ring was placed separately in the temperature chamber; after improvement, the entire polarization-maintaining optical path assembly, consisting of the fiber ring, the Y-waveguide integrated optical device, the polarization-maintaining fiber pigtail, and the polarization-maintaining fusion splice, is placed in the temperature chamber. From an optical path perspective, the fiber ring is a component for the propagation of two phase-directed light waves, while the polarization-maintaining optical path assembly is a component that splits light into two beams, allows the two beams to propagate in opposite directions, and then combines the two beams. It is the entire interference optical path, encompassing light polarization, polarization maintenance, and light interference, thus possessing greater completeness.
[0053] The parts of the optical path are spliced by optical fibers, and the optical path and the circuit part are connected by a detector and an electric wire. The test cable connects the circuit part, the power supply box and the computer to complete the electrical connection of the test system.

[0055] In order to avoid the influence of other optical, circuit components, temperature boxes on the test of the polarization-maintaining optical path assembly, certain requirements are put forward for the test accuracy at room temperature and constant temperature points.
[0056] The test curve of the polarization-maintaining optical path assembly at room temperature is as shown in Figure 2 The zero-bias stability is 0.0017° / h (100s, 1σ) calculated by using the data of the last two hours, which reflects the room temperature noise level of the gyro circuit and the optical path.
[0057] Constant temperature point test, the oven is set to constant temperature -40℃, +60℃, power on for 3 hours, the test curve of polarization maintaining optical path assembly is as follows Figure 3 , Figure 4 Using the data of the last 2 hours, the zero bias stability is calculated as 0.0038° / h (100s, 1σ), 0.0025° / h (100s, 1σ), which reflects the low high temperature noise level of the gyro circuit, optical path, and the anti-vibration performance of the oven.
[0058] After the above two tests meet the accuracy index, no further measurement is required.
[0059] Full temperature test, set the temperature range: -40℃~+60℃, temperature change rate: 1℃ / min, high and low temperature holding time 3 hours. The test curve of polarization maintaining optical path assembly is as follows Figure 5 , Figure 6 Among them, the fiber ring and Y waveguide integrated optical device remain unchanged, and the change is the tail fiber disc fiber process and fusion point. Figure 5 The test curve of polarization maintaining optical path assembly disc fiber process 1 plus polarization maintaining fusion point 1, the temperature difference is calculated as 0.3° / h, and the compensated zero bias stability is 0.018° / h (100s, 1σ), Figure 6 The test curve of polarization maintaining optical path assembly disc fiber process 2 plus polarization maintaining fusion point 2, the temperature difference is calculated as 0.18° / h, and the compensated zero bias stability is 0.007° / h (100s, 1σ). Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that by changing the disc fiber process and polarization maintaining fusion point, the full temperature difference of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly is reduced from 0.3° / h to 0.18° / h, a reduction of 60%, and the compensated zero bias stability is reduced from 0.018° / h (100s, 1σ) to 0.007° / h (100s, 1σ), an increase of 2.6 times. Only by testing the entire polarization maintaining optical path assembly can the influence of the disc fiber process and the polarization maintaining fusion point be measured.
[0060] The evaluation index in the evaluation system includes the temperature difference of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly under temperature test and the compensated standard deviation. The temperature difference represents the temperature sensitivity of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly, and the larger the value, the worse the temperature difference symmetry. The compensated standard deviation represents the accuracy level of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly after compensation. The larger the value, the worse the accuracy of the fiber optic gyroscope after compensation, and the smaller the two indexes, the better. Through the two indexes, the quality of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly can be judged.
[0061] The test temperature condition of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly is consistent with the test condition of the gyro after the whole table.
[0062] The temperature range reflects the symmetry of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly, and the greater the value, the greater the temperature sensitivity of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly. The size of the standard deviation after compensation reflects the precision level of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly after compensation, and the greater the value, the poorer the precision of the fiber optic gyroscope after compensation. The specific calculation process is as follows Figure 7 .
[0063] The evaluation system includes a data loading module, a parameter selection and setting module, a data processing module, a result display module, and a graphical display module.
[0064] The data loading module loads and displays the number of data rows and columns of the gyroscope data, and the content of the gyroscope data includes the output angular velocity and temperature of the gyroscope.
[0065] The parameter selection and setting module displays the start row and end row of the gyroscope data, and the column number of the gyroscope data in the data file. In the parameter selection and setting module, the data sampling frequency, smoothing time, and scale factor are set. The default data start row is 1, the end row is the total length of the data, and the gyroscope data is located in the 2nd column. The sampling frequency is 1 Hz, the smoothing time is 100 s, and the scale factor is the ratio of the data average value to the ground speed. The user can change any one of the parameters according to the actual situation.
[0066] The data processing module calculates the evaluation index according to the output angular velocity and temperature of the gyroscope, and transmits it to the result display module or the graphical display module.
[0067] The result display module displays the temperature range of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly and the standard deviation after compensation. It also displays the bias value, bias stability before and after compensation.
[0068] The graphical display module displays the curve of the bias value of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly before compensation with respect to time, or the comparative curve of the bias value of the polarization maintaining optical path assembly before and after compensation with respect to time. At the same time, the graphical display module outputs the Figure graphics of matlab.
