Backward Secondary-Wave Coherence Errors in Photonic Bandgap Fiber Optic Gyroscopes

چکیده
Photonic bandgap fiber optic gyroscope (PBFOG) is a novel fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) with excellent environment adaptability performance compared to a conventional FOG. In this work we find and investigate the backward secondary-wave coherence (BSC) error, which is a bias error unique to the PBFOG and caused by the interference between back-reflection-induced and backscatter-induced secondary waves. Our theoretical and experimental results show a maximum BSC error of ~4.7°/h for a 300-m PBF coil with a diameter of 10 cm. The BSC error is an important error source contributing to bias instability in the PBFOG and has to be addressed before practical applications of the PBFOG can be implemented.

Tunable gratings in a hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber based on acousto-optic interaction.
We demonstrate a coherent intermodal coupling in a hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers (PBGF) using an acoustic grating. A theoretical study on the properties of acoustic and optical wave propagating the PBGF is performed indicating that the applied frequency higher than 10 MHz is required to obtain the acousto-optic interaction at the wavelength around 1550 nm. Wavelength-tunable coupling from...
متن کاملDesign of a Photonic Bandgap Fiber with Optimized Parameters to Achieve Ultra-Low Confinement Loss
In this paper, a novel design of all-solid photonic bandgap fiber with ultra-low confinement loss is proposed. The confinement loss is reduced remarkably by managing the number of rods rings, up-doping level, pitch value, and rods diameters. Moreover, the designed PCF shows ultra-flattened dispersion in L- and U-band. Furthermore, a new design, based on introducing of an extra ring of air h...

متن کاملGas Sensor Based on Large Hollow-Core Photonic Bandgap Fiber
One concern in using photonic band-gap fiber (PBGF) as a gas sensor is the response time. In this type of the gas sensors, response time is the time required for gas to diffuse into the hollow-core. So considering a large hollow-core PBGF (HC-PBGF), the response time can be significantly reduced. But in the large HC-PBGF, the fundamental issue is the presence of higher order modes (HOMs). Somet...
