Fiber-optic gyroscopes based on polarization scrambling.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel fiber-optic gyroscope with a single-mode diode laser as the light source and two polarization scramblers as time-varying depolarizers is demonstrated. This arrangement reduces the nonreciprocal phase noise induced by the cross coupling between polarization modes in single-mode fibers. The experimental results show that a phase-noise reduction factor of 18 can be achieved.

A novel scheme for achieving quasi-uniform rate polarization scrambling at 752 krad/s.
We propose and demonstrate a novel scheme for obtaining quasi-uniform rate polarization scrambling at up to 752 krad/s in fiber optic systems by using cascaded multiple fiber squeezers with each one placed in a certain orientation. Additionally, this polarization scrambler is compatible with both single-polarization and polarization-multiplexing systems. We also show that scrambled SOP with thi...
متن کاملCompensated Fiber-optic Frequency Distribution Equipment
One-way frequency distribution of atomic clock standards has been widely studied, and several architectures have emerged that employ the use of a return path signal to compensate for the effects of temperature and phase noise. These architectures have generally relied upon temperature-controlled delay lines to compensate for fiber thermal effects, and polarization scrambling techniques to minim...
متن کاملUsing a Recirculating Fiber Loop to Determine the Limitations Placed on Ultra-high-performance Soliton and Linear Optical Systems by Polarization Mode Dispersion
A short recirculating fiber loop (-100 km) that can emulate PMD with Maxwellianstatistics is realized by loop-synchronous polarization scrambling inside the loop. Theperformance of our distribution-correct PMD loop is compared both experimentally andnumerically to that of a distribution-incorrect PMD loop.©2000 Optical Society of AmericaOCIS codes: (060.2330) Fiber optics co...

متن کاملHybrid fiber resonator employing LRSPP waveguide coupler for gyroscope
Polarization error and temperature noise are two main limits to the performance of resonant fiber optic gyroscope (RFOG). To overcome these limits, we demonstrated a hybrid resonator consisting of a polymer-based long-range surface plasmon polariton (LRSPP) waveguide coupler and a silica fiber. Single-polarization property of LRSPP waveguide and the offsetting of the opposite thermo-optical cha...
