Background technology
Optic fiber gyroscope generally adopts two kinds of light source: SLD and Er-Doped superfluorescent fiber source at present, SLD light-source temperature poor-performing, need TEC(thermoelectricity to control) reduce its responsive to temperature performance, be limited to the impact of TEC control precision, high-precision optical fiber gyro extensively adopts Er-Doped superfluorescent fiber source, the critical component of Er-Doped superfluorescent fiber source is pump laser, and its Main Function is that the pump light of 980nm or 1480nm is provided for Er-Doped superfluorescent fiber source.In actual applications, the output light of pump laser can produce along with the variation of external environment fluctuation, be mainly the variation that is embodied in the drift of centre wavelength and the spectrum width of output spectrum, the variation meeting of these two factors causes very large impact to Er-Doped superfluorescent fiber source performance.Need to take measures it to carry out effectively controlling to reduce its impact.
Specifically, the structure of existing Er-Doped superfluorescent fiber source is generally divided into four kinds as shown in accompanying drawing 1~4: one way forward direction, one way are backward, double-pass forward, double-pass backward.The building block of four kinds of structures is by forming without refrigeration pump laser, Er-doped fiber, speculum, condenser lens, but the position difference of device has determined the different structure of light source.Generally speaking under the condition of the fine length of equal erbium and pump laser output, because single-pass structure is only utilized forward direction in Er-doped fiber or the spontaneous radiation of backward amplify, and the spontaneous radiation of other direction does not effectively utilize, so single-pass structure is low compared with dual channel structure Output optical power.
Single-pass forward direction structure (as Fig. 1) in single-pass structure, when if Er-doped fiber length is longer, the similar loss of pump light of fiber-optic output totally, now forward direction output intensity is more weak, in addition between pump laser and optic fiber gyroscope light signal, all can produce light feedback, these two kinds of light feedbacks can form resonant cavity in Er-doped fiber, and output spectrum is narrowed down, and therefore at interference type optical fiber gyroscope, generally do not adopt this structure.The backward structure of single-pass (as Fig. 2), in this structure, Er-doped fiber prolongs former and later two directions and produces spontaneous amplified spont-aneous emission signal, the feature of this scheme is only to utilize backward spontaneous amplified spont-aneous emission light, one of its advantage is the additional noise that can effectively avoid light feedback to introduce, two of advantage is that this structure can be insensitive to interior on a large scale pump power variation, presents high stability.
Bilateral forward direction structure (as Fig. 3) in dual channel structure, speculum is at pump light input, adopt wavelength division multiplexer that pump light is injected to Er-doped fiber, along forward, backward both direction, produce amplified spont-aneous emission signal, ASE backward after speculum reflection, again by Er-doped fiber, amplify and with the spontaneous amplification radiation of forward direction ASE() stack, form stronger forward direction power output.Bilateral backward structure (as Fig. 4), utilizes wavelength division multiplexer that pump light is injected to erbium-doped fiber, forward, both direction produces spontaneous radiation signal backward.After ASE forward again amplifies by erbium-doped fiber after speculum reflection and with ASE backward, superpose, form stronger backward power output.In two kinds of structures, bilateral backward structure has better wavelength stability than bilateral forward direction structure.
There is equally the output center wavelength stable problem of pump laser in these four kinds of structures in a word, cannot well satisfy the demands in actual applications.
