Development of a high-flexibility dual-polarization modulation in interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes
Interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes (IFOGs) require strict eigen-frequency modulation matching, as even minor frequency deviations degrade system stability. In this work, a novel IFOG with dual-polarization modulation is proposed. The modulation unit composed of a lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and two polarization rotators achieves flexible frequency adjustment by converting modulation from time domain into spatial domain. Due to the reverse directed electro-optic effect between the orthogonal optical axes of LiNbO3, the backscattering noise is effectively suppressed. Experimental results demonstrate that 200 Hz sine modulation is sufficient for a 200 m fiber coil, achieving bias instability (BI) of 0.096°/h and angular random walk (ARW) of 0.0092°/h1/2. This configuration provides a novel option for high-performance IFOGs.
