摘要
我们提出了一种开创性的导航级干涉空芯光纤陀螺仪(IFOG),该陀螺仪使用四极绕线圈的四管截断双嵌套抗谐振无节点光纤(tDNANF)。这种最先进的tDNANF在宽波长范围内同时实现低损耗、低弯曲损耗、单空间模式操作和卓越的线性偏振纯度。我们的469 m tDNANF线圈在1525-1565 nm的放大自发发射(ASE)光源照射下,极化消光比(PER)为~20 dB。在这些条件下,陀螺仪记录了0.00383 deg h−1/2的角随机漫步(ARW)和0.0017 deg h−1的偏置不稳定(BI)漂移,标志着空芯陀螺首次具有导航级性能。此外,我们还验证了空气芯FOGs的低热敏性,在不同温度范围内,与相同尺寸的传统保持极化的固体芯FOGs相比,空气芯FOGs的热敏性降低了9.24/10.68/6.82。这些结果代表了对具有优越环境适应性的高精度惯性导航应用的长期承诺的重要一步。
We present a groundbreaking navigation-grade interferometric air-core fibre optic gyroscope (IFOG) using a quadrupolar-wound coil of four-tube truncated double nested antiresonant nodeless fibre (tDNANF). This state-of-the-art tDNANF simultaneously achieves low loss, low bend loss, single-spatial-mode operation, and exceptional linear polarization purity over a broad wavelength range. Our 469 m tDNANF coil demonstrated a polarization extinction ratio (PER) of ~20 dB when illuminated by an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) source spanning 1525-1565 nm. Under these conditions, the gyro archives an angular random walk (ARW) of 0.00383 deg h−1/2 and a bias instability (BI) drift of 0.0017 deg h−1, marking the first instance of navigation-grade performance in air-core FOGs. Additionally, we validated the low thermal sensitivity of air-core FOGs, with reductions of 9.24/10.68/6.82 compared to that of conventional polarization-maintaining solid-core FOGs of the same size across various temperature ranges. These results represent a significant step towards long-standing promise of high-precision inertial navigation applications with superior environmental adaptability.
