Research on Optical Fiber Ring Resonator Q Value and Coupling Efficiency Optimization.

Abstract

The coupling efficiency of the fiber ring resonator has an important influence on the scale factor of the resonant fiber gyroscope. In order to improve the scale factor of the gyroscope, the coupling efficiency of the fiber ring resonator and its influential factors on the scale factor of the gyroscope are analyzed and tested. The results show that the coupling efficiency is affected by both the splitting ratio of the coupler and the loss in the cavity. When the coupling efficiency approaches 0.75 at the under-coupling state, the scaling factor of the gyroscope is the highest. This provides a theoretical reference and an experimental basis for the enhancement of the scaling factor of the resonant fiber gyroscope with the fiber ring resonator as the sensitive unit, providing options for multiple applications such as sea, land, sky and space.
