Lock-in reduction technique for fiber-optic ring laser gyros.

چکیده
We have demonstrated a Brillouin fiber-optic gyro that utilizes push-pull phase modulation in the ring cavity to suppress frequency locking. This in-line modulation allows an all-fiber system with optical reciprocity. A tenfold reduction of the width of the lock-in range is observed experimentally.

Evaluation of Ring Laser and Fiber Optic Gyroscope Technology
In past years much interest has been shown in the development of optical gyroscopes which offer the potential of solid state, highly reliable performance immune from many of the mechanical effects which restrict the performance of conventional spinning mass gyroscopes. Both ring laser and fiber optic gyros operate by sensing the difference in propagation time between beams of light traveling in...
متن کاملHybrid Mode Locked Fiber Ring Laser
Mode locked pulse generation has been reported using both active and passive mode locking schemes. Active mode locking technique has been proven to be an effective way to generate high-repetition-rate pulses by incorporating a modulator inside the laser cavity. Compared to actively mode locked lasers, passively mode locked lasers can generate pulse train at ultrashort pulse width but with relat...
متن کاملA fiber optic sensor for measuring glucose in aqueous solutions
In this paper, the set-up of a multi-mode fiber optic sensor for measuring glucose in aqueous solutions is investigated and evaluated. The basis of this sensor is based on the Fresnel Reflection. In this setup, a helium-neon laser is used as a light source, a fiber optic probe, photocell as detector and a digital multimeter. The statistical analysis of the recorded data shows a highly linear be...
متن کاملUsing of Broadened Asymmetric Waveguide Structure for 980nm Diode Laser
Laser diode beam divergence is the main parameter for beam shaping and fiber optic coupling. Increasing the waveguide layer thickness is the conventional method to decrease the beam divergence. In this paper, the broadened asymmetric waveguide is introduced to decrease the divergence without increasing the optical power. The asymmetric waveguide was used to shift the vertical optical field to n...
متن کامل"Fiber-Optic Cavities for Physical and Chemical Sensing”
Fiber-optic resonators can be used as ideal mechanical probes and chemical sensors owing to their unique sensitivity to static and dynamic strain applied to the fiber as well as to optical absorption or refractive index changes in the surrounding medium when the evanescent or the internal light field is exposed. The intrinsic properties of high-finesse fiber cavities, either based on Bragg-grat...
