Gyroscope is a very important core sensor as a rotation sensor in inertial space, in inertial guidance and navigation system on aeronautics. Plane, vessel and so on for civilian and millitary applications. Research and development of fiber optic gyroscope began in 1976 and focused on improving the gyroscope's sensitivity to rotation. bias performance and reducing noise. We have developed a Interferometric Fiber Optic' Gyroscope using a integrated-optic-circuit (IOC), which is operating with closed-loop electronic circuit. This paper describes the scheme of optical part and electronic part and also test results of this fiber optic gyroscope using a integrated-optic-circuit (IOC). The performance have been achieved as long-term bias drift of $1.73^{\circ}/h$.

본 논문에서는 우주환경에 사용되는 광섬유자이로(FOG)의 최근 개발동향에 대해 기술하고자 한다. 광섬유자이로는 샤냑효과를 이용하여 각속도를 측정하는 장치로 링레이저자이로(RLG)에 비해 짧은 개발역사를 가지고 있지만, 관련 소자 및 신호처리 방법의 발전으로 인해 고성능의 우주용 관성항법장치로 링레이저자이로를 대체하기에 충분한 것으로 알려져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 광섬유자이로의 개발동향을 현재까지 개발된 광섬유자이로 제품을 바탕으로 각각의 성능과 특징에 대해 알아보고, 앞으로 고성능 우주용 관성항법장치로서의 광섬유자이로의 발전 방향에 대해 살펴보기로 한다.

본 논문은 광섬유 간섭계의 제한된 회전 측정범위($\pi$/2[radian]) 확장을 통하여 고속 회전입력을 감지할 수 있는 광섬유자이로 설계에 관한 연구 결과를 기술하였다. 디지털 세로다인 변조 기법을 바탕으로 광섬유자이로 신호처리 회로를 설계하였으며, 제작된 프로토타입 광섬유자이로의 시험결과 약 ${\pm}3000[deg/sec]$의 고속 회전측정 성능과 약 150[ppm]의 환산계수 성능을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 고속회전 감지를 위한 광섬유자이로 설계의 유효성이 검증되었다.

Fiber optic gyroscopes must be a promising technology that can replace conventional mechanical ones based on the principle of inertia of spinning masses. The advantages of fiber optic gyroscopes over mechanical ones include low cost, light weight, compact size and fast turn-on time. We will apply them to fiber optic gyrocompass for ships. Fiber optic gyrocompass for ships requires the north-seeking accuracy of $15^{\circ}$/hr, earth rotation rate, or better. This article introduces the fiber optic gyroscope as rotation sensor in the fiber optic gyrocompass system for ships that is planed to develop in our laboratory.

Gyroscope is a very important core sensor, as a rotation sensor in inertial space, in inertial guidance and navigation system on aeronautics, plane, vessel and so on for civilian and millitary applications. Mechnical gyroscopes, adopting a principle of spinning a top, have been used in many application system. These mechnical gyroscopes need high power consumption, long warming time and complicated peripheral devices. But fiber-optic gyroscopes, based on the Sagnac effect, have novel advantages as small volume. simple scheme, low power consumption and high reliability. So we have developed a Intermediate grade All-fiber Optic Gyroscope, which has open-loop and minimum reciprocal configuration scheme. We have designed feedback circuits for stability of amplitude and phase using four lock-in amplifier(LIA) circuits and also used for noise limitation. This paper describes the scheme of optical part and electronic part and also test results of this all-fiber optic gyroscope. The performance have been achieved as long-term bias drift of $9.54^{\circ}/h$, random walk of $0.0317^{\circ}/\sqrt{h}$ and dynamic range of ${\pm}150\;deg/s$.

The bias characteristics due to the changes of temperature and temperature gradient of fiber coil are investigated in fiber-optic gyroscope. The bias performance is degraded with the changes of temperature and temperature gradient of fiber coil. The temperature compensation using both the temperature-dependent bias measurement and the temperature-induced error model of fiber-optic gyroscope improves the bias stability about 3 times as much as the uncompensated original case, which leads to very stable bias performance over the temperature range from $-35^{\circ}C$ to $+77^{\circ}C$.

The amplitude error of phase modulator used in closed-loop fiber optic gyroscope has occurred by the temperature dependency of the electro-optic coefficient, and also can be due to the square-wave dither signal which is generally applied for eliminating the deadzone. This error can cause bias drift and scale factor error. This paper analyzes the temperature dependency of the modulation amplitude and the relationship with the scale factor of the gyroscope, and deals with an amplitude control method. The error calculation logic considering the dither signal is implemented on the signal processing module. The result of experiments from a prototype gyroscope shows the effect of the modulation amplitude control and a considerable improvement on performances.

In general, open-loop fiber-optic gyroscopes (FOG) are less stable than closed-loop FOGs but they offer simpler implementation. The typical operation time of line-of-sight (LOS) stabilization systems is a few seconds to one hour. In this paper, a open-loop fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) for LOS applications is designed and implemented. The design goal is aimed at implementing a low cost, compact FOG with low Angle Random Walk (ARW) (< $0.03deg/\sqrt{h}$) and bias instability (< 0.25deg/h). The FOG uses an open-loop all-fiber configuration with 100M PM fiber wound on a small diameter spool. In order to get the design goal, digital signal processing techniques for signal detection, modulation control and compensation are designed and implemented in FPGA.

In the fiber-optic gyroscope employing the erbium-doped fiber source, the source excess noise was subtracted through a signal processing to improve the gyroscope sensitivity . As the result, we obtained the improvement of 14 dB(electrical) at the proper frequency, which was measured from the noise floor spectrum . In addition the random walk coefficient in the gyro output was reduced by about factor of three.

Accurate evaluation of polarization characteristics in the integrated optic chip (IOC) for interferometric fiber optic gyroscope was performed. Spatial distribution of optical wavetrains caused by the polarization parameters such as local polarization cross-coupling and polarization rejection coefficient of the IOC were measured utilizing the path-matched optical coherence domain polarimetry (PM-OCDP). With the analytic model deduced from Jones matrix representation, we could accurately identify the polarization characteristics of the IOC. Both degree of measurement error due to the imperfect equipment conditions in PM-OCDP and birefringence of IOC chip were also characterized.
