Fiber-optic laser gyro with easily introduced phase-difference bias.
An optical system for easy introduction of phase-difference bias to optimize the sensitivity of the fiber-optic laser gyro is proposed. The theory of using a laser diode has been considered, and the rotation detection experiment has been performed. The experimental setup consists of a 300-m long single-mode optical fiber, individual optical components, and a laser diode stabilized by a thermal controller and an optical isolator. Short-time resolution of the rotation rate better than 0.87 mrad/sec has been achieved with good linearity.
