Fiber Optic Gyroscope Features

Fiber optic gyroscope is an instrument that can accurately determine the orientation of moving objects. It is an inertial navigation instrument widely used in modern aviation, navigation, aerospace and national defense industries. Fiber optic gyroscope is a sensitive element based on the optical fiber coil. The light emitted by the laser diode propagates along the optical fiber in two directions. Different light propagation paths determine the angular displacement of the sensing element.

Want to know the features about fiber optic gyroscope? Here are some points.

(1) The parts are few, the instrument is firm and stable, and has strong anti-impact and anti-acceleration ability;

(2) The wound fiber is longer, which makes the detection sensitivity and resolution more than several orders of magnitude higher than the laser gyro;

(3) There is no mechanical transmission component, there is no wear problem, and thus has a long service life;

(4) It is easy to adopt integrated optical path technology, the signal is stable, and can be directly used for digital output and connected with a computer interface;

(5) By changing the length of the optical fiber or the number of times of light propagation in the coil, different precisions can be achieved and a wide dynamic range can be achieved;

(6) The propagation time of the coherent light beam is short, so in principle, it can be started instantaneously without preheating;

(7) It can be used together with a ring laser gyro to form sensors of various inertial navigation systems, especially sensors of strapdown inertial navigation systems;

(8) The structure is simple, the price is low, the volume is small, and the weight is light.
