Design of low-crosstalk polarizing resonator and homologous multi-frequency differential detection for hollow-core photonic-crystal fiber optic gyro.

ABSTRACT

In order to suppress the undesired polarization in the hollow-core photonic-crystal fiber (HCPCF) resonator and reduce the loss of the resonator, we realize a low-crosstalk polarizing resonator with the polarization-correlated phase modulation technique (PCPM). In addition, we put forward a homologous multi-frequency differential detection scheme, with which the backscattering noise and the backreflection noise of the gyro can be well suppressed. Finally, we realize a hollow-core photonic-crystal fiber optic gyro based on the low-crosstalk polarizing resonator and the homologous multi-frequency differential detection. With this novel gyro system, a bias stability of 1.23°/h is successfully demonstrated.
