摘要： Apparatus for suppressing the bias errors induced by the Faraday effect in the output of a sensor coil exposed to a magnetic field. Arrangements are formed at two leads of the sensor coil for compensating the bias shifts. One of such arrangements comprises at least one loop of optical fiber for compensating the effect induced by the magnetic field component oriented transverse to the axis of the sensor coil while the other comprises at least one loop oriented at a predetermined pitch angle for compensating the effect induced by a magnetic field component along the axis. In each case, a predetermined degree of twist of a preselected fiber twist mode is imposed upon the compensator loop for creating a counteracting, corrective Faraday effect. Cross-coupling does not occur between the two compensators as their twist rate perodicities are unequal.

摘要： A fiber optic sensing coil formed in a polarization-maintaining optical fiber has two optical fiber leads extending therefrom. A multifunction integrated optics chip linearly polarizes optical signals input to the sensing coil. Fiber optic leads formed of polarization-maintaining optical fiber extend from the multifunction integrated optics chip. The fiber optic multifunction integrated optics chip leads are arranged such that the linear polarization of optical signals output from the multifunction integrated optics chip is directed along one of the principal axes of birefringence of each of the fiber optic multifunction integrated optics chip leads. Splices are formed between corresponding the first sensing coil leads and the multifunction integrated optics chip leads. The sensing coil leads and the multifunction integrated optics chip leads are arranged such that their corresponding principal axes of birefringence are at angles of approximately 45.degree. relative to one another. The first splice is formed a distance from the multifunction integrated optics chip such that a selected phase change between polarization components occurs in optical waves that propagate the distance L.sub.1 in the first multifunction integrated optics chip lead.

摘要： There is provided by this invention an optical sensing system utilizing a Sagnac interferometer having a frequency shifter within the Sagnac counterpropagating loop that is generally comprised of a plurality of acoustic transducers mounted on acousto-optical material to frequency shift and beamsplit a light beam simultaneously within the material while at the same time having the capability of switching between an upshifted or downshifted frequency in either a Bragg or Raman-Nath mode of operation without realigning the optical beams. The acousto-optical material has a special configuration to eliminate back reflections of the acoustic waves that can interact with the light beam. In addition, special alignment of the transducers with dampening configurations also serves to prevent back reflections of the acoustic wave from interacting with the light beam.

摘要： A system and method for providing scale factor stabilization of a broadband light source used in fiber optic gyroscopes is provided. A primary bandpass filter is positioned in the propagation path of the light emitted by the broadband light source to narrow the spectral width of the optical signal transmitted to the fiber optic gyroscope, which reduces the centroid wavelength shift resulting when the broadband light source is exposed to ionizing radiation and other harsh environmental conditions. The filtered optical signal is then passed through the fiber optic gyroscope, where the filter optical signal is processed to measure the amount of rotation of the fiber optic gyroscope. The scale factor stabilization system further includes the spectral monitor array arranged to perform direct optical wavelength measurements of the filtered optical signal to determine whether a scale factor shift in the optical signal has occurred. When a scale factor shift is detected, the detected scale factor shift is used in a compensation algorithm to correct the scale factor of the optical signal. By monitoring the scale factor shift and adjusting the values measured by the fiber optic gyroscope in accordance with the detected scale factor shift, the accuracy of the fiber optic gyro can be improved to a fraction of a part-per-million.

摘要： A system for performing scale factor stabilization of a broadband optical signal source used in fiber optic gyroscopes in radiation environments. An optical signal source is provided comprising a pump light source and an optical fiber arranged to receive pump light from the pump light source. Light output from the optical fiber is input into a wavelength division multiplexer. An optical gain fiber having an erbium-doped core is connected to the wavelength division multiplexer and arranged to be optically pumped by the pump light such that the gain fiber emits broadband light that propagates to the wavelength division multiplexer. An output optical fiber is connected to the wavelength division multiplexer and arranged to guide a portion of the broadband light emitted by the gain fiber to a fiber optic gyroscope. A filter device is positioned in-line with the broadband light emitted by the gain fiber to attenuate light outside of the bandwidth of the filter device. The filter device allows a bandwidth of light narrower than the spectral width of the broadband light source to propagate through while attenuating all wavelengths of light outside of its operating bandwidth. Only the portion of the broadband source spectrum contained within the bandpass of the filter is selected out, thus narrowing the spectral width of the broadband fiber source. This narrower spectral width reduces the shift of centroid wavelength of the broadband fiber source which results when the gain fiber and other sensitive optical components are exposed to ionizing radiation.

摘要： The ends of a pair of polarization-maintaining optical fibers that each have an elliptical stress member in the cladding to produce stress induced birefringence are placed end-to-end with a predetermined gap between the ends of the fibers. The ends of the fibers are examined with an optical imaging apparatus whose focus is adjusted to locate an alignment band in each fiber. The position of one of the polarization-maintaining optical fibers is then adjusted until the two alignment bands are in longitudinal alignment. The fiber ends are pre annealed and then fused together by application of energy from an electric arc.

摘要： An optical fiber interleaver and method for aligning the output channels to a set of nominal values in frequency space. The interleaver is formed of two optical fibers joined together at fused input and output couplers to define an input section, an interferometer section and an output section. Within the interferometer section, an element is arranged to vary the optical path length of at least one of the fibers in response to a feedback signal. The feedback signal is generated by examination of the intensity of a monitor signal at the output section that was applied at the input section.
