Mitigating bias instabilities in optical gyroscopes

One or more phase modulators in an optical gyroscope operate on two counter-propagating beams to introduce a phase shift between the beams before the beams are interferometrically combined to generate a rotation signal. A signal generator generates first and second modulation frequencies to drive the phase modulators. The first modulation frequency in isolation biases the rotation signal at an operating point sensitive to rotation, and the second modulation frequency in isolation biases the rotation signal at an operating point insensitive to rotation. One or more control integrated circuits (ICs) isolate a first portion of the rotation signal associated with the first modulation frequency and a second portion of the rotation signal associated with the second modulation frequency. The control ICs determine a difference between the first and second portions of the rotation signal to remove one or more bias instabilities from the first portion of the rotation signal.

An optical gyroscope integrated chip based on thin-film lithium niobate photonic integration platform

The present invention discloses an optical gyroscope integrated chip based on a thin-film lithium niobate photonic integrated platform. The overall structure adopts a hybrid curved waveguide with multiple parts of continuously variable curvature, which reduces the insertion loss caused by the mode field mismatch between the straight waveguide and the curved waveguide at the junction, reduces the excitation of high-order modes, and helps to reduce the overall size of the chip.
