Description
Summary:In order to optimize the performance of a resonant micro-optic gyroscope, a well-designed transmissive structure, which was obtained by optimizing the transmission coefficient of a coupler was used as the core component of a planar waveguide optical gyroscope. By analyzing the relationship between the resonator’s transmission coefficient and the gyroscope’s scale factor, the optical waveguide resonator sensing element with optimal parameters for the resonant micro-optic gyroscope was obtained. A scale factor of 1.34 mV/°/s was achieved using an open-loop system, and a bias stability of 183.7 °/h over a one-hour test was successfully demonstrated.
