Dynamic resonance characteristic analysis of fiber ring resonator

Abstract

A resonator fiber optic gyro is a high accuracy inertial rotation sensor based on the Sagnac effect. Fiber ring resonator is the core-sensing element in the resonator fiber optic gyro. The dynamic response of the resonator has been studied, and the ringing phenomenon is observed when sweeping the laser frequency. The dynamic characteristics of the resonator, which are related with the frequency sweep rate, have a decisive effect on the dynamic performance of the gyro system. In order to further analyze and better design the gyro system, deep analysis of the dynamic resonance characteristics is in urgent need. This paper gives out the condition for the ringing phenomenon, and analyzes the parameters for the ringing and the dynamic resonance curve through simulation. It is concluded that increasing the sweep rate will lift the ringing and deteriorate the parameters of the resonance curve, and finally have negative effects on the performance of the gyro system.
