Automatic Detection of Fiber Optic Gyroscope Intrinsic Frequency Based on Optimal Projection Approximation

To address the complexity and low detection accuracy issues in the intrinsic frequency detection process of fiber optic gyroscopes, a highly precise automatic measurement method based on optimal projection approximation is proposed. Building upon the digital closed-loop fiber optic gyroscope hardware circuit, this method generates a frequency-adjustable square wave with a 25% duty cycle through field-programmable gate array (FPGA) fractional division. Subsequently, it calculates the difference between the high and low levels of the sign bits of the modulated optical intensity signal sampled by the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This yields an error signal related to the modulation frequency and intrinsic frequency. The modulation frequency is then approximated using the nearest projection of this error signal, thereby achieving automatic detection of the fiber optic gyroscope’s intrinsic frequency. The experimental results indicate that this method, requiring no external auxiliary equipment, enables rapid and highly accurate measurement of the intrinsic frequency of the fiber optic gyroscope. The measurement of intrinsic frequency takes approximately 300 milliseconds, achieving a measurement accuracy of up to 0.001 Hz.

Research on light source average wavelength and crystal oscillator frequency for reducing temperature error of the FOG scale factor

Based on the working principle of the digital closed-loop fiber optic gyroscope (FOG), a model for the influence of crystal oscillator frequency on scale factor (SF) temperature error is theoretically derived. Besides, the correlation between the two main light sources average wavelength and the SF temperature error is discussed. The experimental results show that both the crystal oscillator frequency and the light source average wavelength have a greater impact on the FOG SF temperature error. There is a cubic function relationship between crystal oscillator frequency and temperature, the temperature error of the SF is inversely proportional to the crystal oscillator frequency. Using a higher frequency temperature-compensated crystal oscillator, the frequency stability can be improved by two orders of magnitude, from 67.14 ppm to 0.22 ppm, the SF temperature error is also greatly reduced. The SF error is proportional to the relative change in wavelength, and the change caused by the temperature is of the same order of magnitude. Compared with the super luminescent diode (SLD) light source, the Erbium-doped fiber light source has higher average wavelength stability, the SF error caused by it is also smaller. The error can be reduced by 15 ppm and controlled at about 10 ppm after temperature compensation.

The Compensation of Y Waveguide Temperature Drifts in FOG with the Thermal Resistor

The lithium niobate integrated optical phase modulator (Y waveguide) is the key device in the digital closed-loop fiber optic gyroscope. However, the half-wave voltage of the lithium niobate changes with the environment temperature, which produces the phase bias drift and ultimately decreases the accuracy of FOG. In this manuscript, the thermal resistor is introduced in the amplification part in the driving circuits of Y waveguide. Due to the characteristic of the thermal resistor, the magnitude of driving voltage on Y waveguide changed with temperature to compensate the electro-optic effects temperature drift of the lithium niobate. This method was proved to improve the performance of fiber optic gyroscopes conveniently in experiment.
