[0044] The technical solutions in the application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0045] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the application clearer, specific embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0046] The embodiment of the application provides an angular velocity sensing method and system based on double silicon-based micro-ring resonance demodulation. Figure 1 As shown in the structure diagram of the angular velocity sensing system based on double silicon-based micro-ring resonance demodulation, the sensing system of the application comprises:

[0047] a driving circuit 1, an on-chip light source 2, an input grating 3, a first silicon-based micro-ring 4, a silicon-based sensing ring 5, a second silicon-based micro-ring 6, a modulation circuit 7, an output grating 8, an on-chip detector 9 and a demodulation circuit 10.

[0048] The on-chip light source 2 is driven by the driving circuit 1, and broadband light emitted by the on-chip light source 2 is coupled into the on-chip silicon-based optical waveguide through the input grating 3.

[0049] When the light is transmitted to the first optical waveguide of the first silicon-based micro-ring 4, the light enters the first silicon-based micro-ring 4 in the form of evanescent wave coupling and resonates in the micro-ring; wherein the first optical waveguide is located at the light input side of the first silicon-based micro-ring 4.

[0050] The light in the resonance frequency band passes through the first silicon-based micro-ring 4 and outputs narrowband light, and enters the second optical waveguide of the first silicon-based micro-ring 4 through evanescent wave coupling; wherein the second optical waveguide is located at the light output side of the first silicon-based micro-ring 4.

[0051] The narrowband light enters the silicon-based sensing ring 5 through the optical waveguide, and when the silicon-based sensing ring 5 rotates, the output light frequency is offset with the rotation of the sensing ring.

[0052] After the narrowband light passes through the silicon-based sensing ring 5, it enters the second silicon-based micro-ring 6 through evanescent wave coupling, and the resonance channel of the silicon-based micro-ring is offset under the control of the electric field of the modulation circuit 7; when the channel matches the signal, resonance demodulation is realized, and an intensity modulation signal is output.

[0053] The light signal output by the second silicon-based micro-ring 6 enters the on-chip detector 9 through the output grating 8 and is converted into an electric signal, and the electric signal is processed by the demodulation circuit 10 to demodulate an initial angular velocity signal.

[0054] In a feasible implementation, only the light in the resonance frequency band can pass through the first silicon-based micro-ring 4.

[0055] In a feasible implementation, the narrowband light enters the silicon-based sensing ring 5, and the light frequency output by the silicon-based sensing ring 5 changes with the rotation of the silicon-based micro-ring, comprising:

[0056] When the light propagates in the optical waveguide of the silicon-based sensing ring 5, if the platform where the silicon-based sensing ring 5 is located does not rotate, the output light frequency is unchanged; when the sensing ring rotates along the plane where the ring 5 is located, the light exhibits a relativistic effect during the transmission in the ring to generate a Sagnac phase shift, at this time, the narrow-band light frequency is shifted, and the greater the rotation speed, the more the shift.

[0057] In a feasible implementation, judging whether the output light frequency of the silicon-based sensing ring 5 is shifted further includes:

[0058] The carrier rotation angular velocity is demodulated through detection of the shift of the narrow-band light frequency.

[0059] In a feasible implementation, demodulating the carrier rotation angular velocity includes:

[0060] The wide-band light is converted into narrow-band light based on the silicon-based micro-ring, and the narrow-band light with an extremely narrow frequency band is filtered out;

[0061] The frequency-shifted narrow-band light is formed after the narrow-band light passes through the rotated silicon-based micro-ring, and then enters the silicon-based micro-ring.

[0062] In a feasible implementation, the electrode on the silicon-based micro-ring is modulated by the modulation circuit 7; the silicon-based micro-ring size is finely adjusted to obtain the shift of the resonance channel, and then the narrow-band light center frequency is biased to the highest sensitivity position on one side of the resonance channel, so as to complete the demodulation of the carrier platform directionality.

[0063] In the present application, the light frequency in the silicon-based sensing ring 5 is unchanged when the carrier platform does not rotate, but when the rotation occurs, the light in the silicon-based sensing ring 5 will generate a Sagnac frequency shift due to the relativistic effect, and the carrier rotation angular velocity can be demodulated by detecting the frequency shift. In order to realize the demodulation of the small frequency shift, the resonance of two same silicon-based micro-rings is used to realize it, and the signal flow of the double silicon-based micro-ring angular velocity demodulation system provided by the embodiment of the present application is as shown in the figure. Figure 2 The wide-band light is converted into narrow-band light based on the first silicon-based micro-ring 4, because only the light with the same resonance frequency as the micro-ring can pass through, so the narrow-band light with an extremely narrow frequency band can be screened out. The frequency-shifted narrow-band light is formed after the narrow-band light passes through the rotated first silicon-based micro-ring 4, and then enters the second silicon-based micro-ring 6. The first silicon-based micro-ring 4 and the second silicon-based micro-ring 6 have the same resonance channel when there is no frequency shift, at this time, the output light intensity is theoretically maximum, but after the frequency shift, the narrow-band light will shift the resonance channel of the second silicon-based micro-ring 6, at this time, the output light intensity will decrease, and the angular velocity can be demodulated by demodulating the intensity signal.

[0064] In a feasible implementation, asFigure 3 The principle diagram of the silicon-based micro-ring provided by the embodiment of the present application realizes signal demodulation by channel shift under voltage modulation: the modulation circuit 7 applies an electric field to the silicon-based micro-ring through electrodes, changes the center resonant frequency of the resonant channel of the silicon-based micro-ring by changing the deformation of the silicon-based micro-ring, so that the center frequency of the narrow-band light is matched, thereby realizing the demodulation of the angular velocity.

[0065] In a feasible implementation, the rotation of the carrier platform in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions will cause the decrease of the light intensity signal. In order to realize the detection of different directions by the system, the modulation circuit 7 is used to apply modulation to the electrodes on the second silicon-based micro-ring 6, the resonant channel is shifted by fine-tuning the size of the silicon-based micro-ring, and then the center frequency of the narrow-band light is offset to the side of the resonant channel with the highest sensitivity. The modulation of the second silicon-based micro-ring 6 can not only solve the directional demodulation of the carrier platform, but also enable the system to achieve the highest sensitivity.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the above technical features are provided to provide an angular velocity sensing system based on double silicon-based micro-ring resonance demodulation, that is, a monolithic integrated optical gyroscope based on double silicon-based micro-ring resonance demodulation. Through the research on the silicon-based monolithic integrated optical gyroscope in many aspects, it is found that the double silicon-based micro-ring resonance demodulation method can realize high-sensitivity detection of Sagnac frequency shift, thereby realizing angular velocity sensing, which provides a new solution for the realization of a CMOS process compatible high-sensitivity silicon-based monolithic integrated optical gyroscope. The implementation of the present application provides a theoretical basis and technical support for the development of an integrated optical gyroscope with the advantages of high sensitivity, miniaturization, chipization and low cost, further expands its application in more fields, and produces great social application value and economic benefits.

When light is transmitted to the first optical waveguide of the first silicon-based microring, it enters the first silicon-based microring through evanescent wave coupling and generates resonance in the microring; wherein the first optical waveguide is located on the light input side of the first silicon-based microring; only light in the resonant frequency band can pass through the first silicon-based microring; S3, the light in the resonant frequency band passes through the first silicon-based microring and outputs narrowband light, and enters the second optical waveguide of the first silicon-based microring through evanescent wave coupling; wherein the second optical waveguide is located on the light output side of the first silicon-based microring; S4. The narrowband light enters the silicon-based sensing ring through the optical waveguide. When the silicon-based sensing ring rotates, the center frequency of the narrowband light shifts. S5, the narrowband light passes through the silicon-based sensing ring and enters the second silicon-based microring through evanescent wave coupling. Under the control of the electric field of the modulation circuit, the resonant channel of the silicon-based microring shifts; when the channel matches the signal, resonant demodulation is achieved, and an intensity modulated signal is output; S6. The optical signal output by the second silicon-based microring enters the on-chip detector through the output grating and is converted into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is processed by the demodulation circuit and then demodulated to obtain the initial angular velocity signal of the angular velocity sensing system.
