Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of optoelectronic devices, and in particular to an optimized system and method for detecting laser gyro signals based on spatial resolution. Background Art

[0002] As a typical application of the Sagnac effect in the field of inertial navigation, the laser gyro can accurately measure angular velocity without the condition of inertial mass, bringing a disruptive change to the fields of ultra-precise inertial navigation and attitude control, etc., and becoming an indispensable core component from inertial sensing control to the basic science field. With the continuous progress of related process technologies, the measurement accuracy of the laser gyro gradually approaches the theoretical limit. People improve the scale factor by increasing the size of the gyro, and the large laser gyro is thus born, and a breakthrough in accuracy is successfully achieved on the basis of the traditional laser gyro. Currently, the measurement accuracy of the mainstream large laser gyro in the world has reached 10 -13 to 10 -11 order of magnitude, and the lowest theoretical accuracy has dropped to 2×10 -15 rad / s, which can basically meet the stringent requirements of a series of high-precision fields such as the test of relativistic effects.

[0003] However, the high sensitivity of the large laser gyro will inevitably amplify a series of noises including thermal noise and shot noise. Coupled with the more complex optical path structure of the large laser gyro and the introduction of means to reduce the gain control single mode, its output optical power is much lower than that of the traditional laser gyro, resulting in a poor signal-to-noise ratio and restricting the improvement of measurement performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] On the one hand, the present invention provides an optimized system for detecting laser gyro signals based on spatial resolution, including a laser gyro, a beam shaping module, an APD array, a transimpedance amplifier, a data acquisition card, and a computer;

[0007] The laser gyro outputs a combined optical beam to the beam shaping module;

[0008] The beam shaping module is used to collimate the combined optical beam output by the laser gyro and convert it into a linear beam with a certain divergence angle and then output it to the APD array;

[0009] The APD array receives the linear beam with a certain divergence angle from the beam shaping module, converts the multi-dimensional combined optical signal of the received linear beam into an analog current signal, and then transmits it to the transimpedance amplifier;

[0010] The transimpedance amplifier is connected to the APD array and the data acquisition card, converts the analog current signal from the APD array into an analog voltage signal, and then transmits it to the data acquisition card;

[0011] The data acquisition card receives the analog voltage signal from the transimpedance amplifier, converts it into a digital voltage signal, and then transmits it to the computer;

[0012] The computer contains a control module for driving the data acquisition card and a spatial resolution detection data modeling and processing module, which are used to perform mathematical modeling and analysis processing on the multi-dimensional combined optical signal received by the APD array, and extract the frequency and phase information of the signal.

[0013] Further, the beam shaping module includes a laser collimator and a cylindrical lens. The laser collimator receives the combined optical beam output from the laser gyro, collimates it and then outputs; the cylindrical lens receives the collimated laser beam and converts it into a linear beam with a certain divergence angle.

[0014] Further, the coating of the lens of the laser collimator should match the wavelength of the He-Ne laser output by the laser gyro λ and the clear aperture is larger than the laser spot output by the gyro.

[0015] Further, the cylindrical lens selects a combination type of double cylindrical lenses that can independently adjust the divergence angle in the X / Y direction, and the surface accuracy should be ≥ λ / 4, and an anti-reflection film with a response wavelength covering the wavelength of the He-Ne laser output by the gyro λ is plated on the mirror surface.

[0016] Further, the APD array should support parallel output to meet the high-speed sampling requirements, its spectral response range should cover the wavelength of the He-Ne laser output by the laser gyro λ , the size of a single pixel should be less than the interference fringe spacing, and at the same time meet the Nyquist sampling law, the number of pixels should be able to cover the beam divergence range, and the saturation optical power is greater than the peak optical power of the laser after divergence by the cylindrical lens.

[0017] On the other hand, a method for optimizing the detection of laser gyro signals based on spatial resolution is provided, including:

[0018] (1) Build and adjust the above-mentioned laser gyro signal detection optimization system based on spatial resolution;

[0019] (2) Start the laser gyro signal detection optimization system for signal acquisition: The data acquisition card collects the analog voltage signals of each channel from the transimpedance amplifier, converts them into corresponding digital voltage signals, and then transmits them to the computer.

[0020] (3) The computer controls and processes the signals, and processes the digital voltage signals of each channel from the data acquisition card, including:

[0024] The present invention combines the optical transformation and the spatial resolution detection principle, and proposes an optimized method for detecting the output signal of a laser gyro by referring to the idea of multi-source information fusion, effectively improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the beat frequency signal detected by the laser gyro, which is of great significance for further improving and breaking through the measurement performance of the laser gyro.

[0025] Specifically, compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0026] The present invention has a higher spatial resolution. The full name of the APD array is Avalanche Photodiode Array. The APD array is a detector array in which multiple avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are integrated on a single chip. Each unit (APD) works independently, amplifying weak optical signals through the avalanche multiplication effect, and is suitable for scenarios requiring high sensitivity, fast response, or multi-channel detection. The APD array consists of multiple pixels and can perform high-resolution detection on the spatial distribution of the combined optical signal, thereby obtaining more accurate light intensity distribution and phase information.

[0027] The present invention has stronger noise suppression ability and stability. Through the signal processing and data statistical analysis of multi-dimensional and multi-pixel, the present invention can better suppress a series of noises including shot noise and thermal noise, and at the same time better identify and eliminate a series of environmental interferences such as mechanical vibration and temperature gradient, thereby improving the detection signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and stability.

[0028] The present invention has a larger dynamic range. The APD array itself can provide a larger dynamic range, adapt to a wider range of light intensity changes, and can also complete high-precision measurement for the combined optical signal output by a large laser gyro with a much lower intensity compared to a traditional laser gyro.
