The Ring Laser Gyroscope makes use of the Sagnac effect within a resonant ring cavity of a He-Ne laser and has more accuracy than the other gyros. The Low Earth Orbit satellite for observatory use require the high accuracy Gyro to control and determine the altitude because of the need of payload pointing accuracy. In this paper, The theory of the Path Length Control is explained. The electrical design of Path Length Controller Is described. The Design for Path Length Controller is composed of the demodulator, integrator, phase shifter, high voltage amplifier. We apply the circuit to 28cm square ring laser gyro and get the test results.

본 연구에서는 광섬유 자이로(Fiber Optic Gyro)의 광학부 간섭계를 모사하고자 한다. 디지털 신호처리를 이용하여 광섬유 고리의 응답특성을 모사한다. 디지털 신호의 1bit 분해능으로 0.1deg/hr의 성능을 내는 광섬유 자이로를 모사하기엔 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 Random Noise를 활용하여 분해능을 높임으로써 광섬유 고리의 성능을 정확히 모사하고자 한다. 입력 레이트에 Random Noise를 실어줌으로써 1bit 분해능의 성능을 높일 수 있다. 1bit 사이의 값들이 랜덤노이즈로 인해 1bit 더해지거나 빼짐으로써 정확한 값을 갖을 수 있다.

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 study is about simulation of optical circuit for oneself performance evaluation of Fiber Optic Gyro(FOG) closed-loop controller board. The Fiber Optic Interferometer Simulator is used a digital signal processing for cosine response specificity output of fiber optic coil about input rate. Response specificity of the fiber optic coil is $Vo(t)=K3[1+\cos\{K1(Vm(t)-Vm(t-{\tau}))+K2\}]$. Also the Fiber Optic Interferometer Simulator is able to confirm a output value with K1, K2 and K3 input. The fiber Optic Interferometer Simulator is able to oneself performance evaluation without fiber optical circuit. Because, it is the very same cosine response specificity of real fiber optic coil about input rate.

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.
