We have constructed and characterized a depolarized fiber-optic gyroscope that uses a length of single-mode fiber as a sensing loop fiber. We have also calculated the noise characteristics of the gyroscope and have found an optimum phase modulation depth that gives the highest signal-to-noise ratio in the gyroscope. The random walk coefficient as small as 0.7$\times$10$^{-3}$ deg/√hr was obtained at the modulation depth of around 2.4 rad. The random walk coefficients measured at various modulation depths were found to be in reasonable agreement with the calculation.

Fiber-optic gyroscope는 시스템의 감도가 광섬유 turn수에 비례하여 증가될 수 있으며 측정 범위가 넓고 (-$10^{8}$), low drift, 선형적응답등의 기술적 장점뿐만 아니라, 시스템의 직접화에 의한 소형화 및 안정화가 기대되어 저렴한 가격에 대량생산이 가능하여 앞으로 기존의 모든 inertial 시스템을 대치할 것으로 전망되어 이에 대한 연구개발이 주목되고 있다.

In this paper, we carried out the performance evaluation of depolarized fiber optic gyroscope(D-FOG) that was designed and fabricated with the low-cost optical communication single mode fiber and depolarizer. In order to reduce the phase error of D-FOG, the circuit of stabilized current and temperature of the light source was made and the performance was analyzed. The current and the temperature stability of the fabricated stabilization circuit were less than $200{\mu}A$ and $0.0098^{\circ}C$, respectively. Also, the D-FOG's experimental result showed that the value of the dynamic range of rotated rate, the scale factor error with a good linearity, and the zero bias drift were ${\pm}50^{\circ}/s$, 2.8881%, and $19.49^{\circ}/h$, respectively. The results indicated that a low-cost FOG was able to fabricate which was more cost effective than conventional FOG with a high-cost high-birefringent polarization maintaining fiber.

Closed-loop fiber-optic gyroscope with linear scale factor for a wide dynamic range is demonstrated using a gating process and two-harmonic phase modulation, of which the second harmonic is obtained by a frequency doubler. Also the effects of the second harmonic and duty cycle of gating signal on the linearity of scale factor are estimated theoretically and compared with the measured data. The experimental results show the best linearity of scale factor is about 0.5% within the rotation rate 90.deg./sec. The closed-loop fiber-optic gyroscope with gated two-harmonic phase modulation can be used in the application demanding less sensitive performance and modest scale factor linearity.

A Signal processor for the open-loop fiber optic gyroscope(FOG) is equipped with a stabilizer to reduce the error due to drift of fiber phase modulator (FPM). The stabilizer is designed to be operated to maintain the ratio of amplitude and phase between harmonics in the FOG signal. When FPM stabilizer is used, the temperature drift of FOG is reduced to less than 0.5 deg/hr in change of 20$^{\circ}C$.

A polarization maintaining fiber optic gyroscope was constructed having an optical loss of about 25 dB. Using the earth rotation rate as a reference, the long term stability of better than $3^{\circ}/hr$ and the rms short term noise of $0.6^{\circ}/hr/{\sqrt{Hz}}$ were obtained.

We proposed and demonstrated a new scheme for subtracting the source excess noise from the output of the fiber-optic gyroscope. Unlike the previous methods, this scheme has an advantage of not requiring a delaying fiber for source noise detection and can be simply applied to fiber gyroscope operating at the proper frequency. By usmg this scheme. the proper frequency component of the source excess noise was subtracted from the gyroscope output. As a result, we obtained the reduction of noise by 12 dB (electrical) which was measured from the noise floor spectrum in the fiber gyroscope modulated at the proper frequency. We also obtarned !be random walk coefficient of thc gyro output reduced by a factor of 3.5. f 3.5.

In the gyrocompass system, the use of the fiber optic gyroscope(FOG) makes this traditional system considerably attractive because it has strong points in terms of weight, power, warming-up time, and cost. In this paper, a novel digital north-finding method based upon an FOG, which can be applied to the gyrocompass system, is proposed. The analytical model for the earth signal of the FOG is described, and the earth signals passed through lock-in amplifiers are modeled. Additionally, a north-finding algorithm using two lock-in amplifier outputs is developed, and the proposed method is organized by the developed algorithm. Simulation results are included to verify the performance of the proposed method.

Erbium 첨가 광섬유를 광원겸 광증폭기로 사용하는 방식으로 개회로 형태의 광섬유 gyroscope를 구성하였다. Erbium 첨가 광섬유를 거쳐 5mW 이상의 gyro 출력광 power와 7nm의 파장선폭을 얻었다. Loop 광섬유로부터 광증폭기형 광원으로의 feedback으로 인하여 회전속도에 따라 scale factor가 변화함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 변조된 gyro 출력신호광의 평균 power가 회전속도에 무관하도록 위상차의 변조진폭을 $\PHI_m=2.405 rad$으로 한 경우에 회전속도와 무관한 일정한 scale factor를 얻을 수 있었다.
