Abstract: A fiber optic rotation sensor system having improved scale factor stability includes an optically pumped gain fiber arranged to provide optical signals to an integrated optics chip connected to a fiber optic sensing coil. An optical coupler receives optical signals from the gain fiber and provides the optical signals to an optical fiber. The optical fiber is arranged to guide optical signals from the optical coupler along an optical path toward the integrated optics chip such that optical signals from the gain fiber are input to the fiber optic sensing coil to form counter-propagating waves therein. The counter-propagating waves traverse the sensing coil and then combine in the integrated optics chip to form a gyro output signal. A depolarizer is placed in the optical path between the first optical coupler and the integrated optics chip to prevent random changes in the state of polarization of optical signals propagating between the gain fiber and the integrated optic chip.

Abstract: A fibre optic gyroscope has a sensor coil (18). At least one dummy layer (24) forms an integral structure with, and shares the thermal expansion characteristics of, a potted coil (18) comprising a plurality of layers of windings of a first optical fibre. In the gyroscope, the potted coil (18) is arranged to receive the output of a source of optical energy (10) as a pair of beams that counter-propagate therein and to provide the resultant interference pattern, as gyro output, to a detector (16). The dummy layer (24) displaces layers or windings of the potted coil from regions likely to contribute to Shupe bias effects.

Abstract: A fiber optic gyro sensor coil with improved temperature stability for use at te mperatures between T1 and T2, T1 being less than -30.degree.C and T2 being greater than 60. degree.C. The coil is wound with an optical fiber having one or more jackets. The one or more jackets are ma de of materials having glass transition regions outside the temperature range from T1 to T2.

Abstract: A potting compound for use in the fabrication of fiber optic gyro sensor coils utilizes a silver-filled silicone base to reduce gyro sensitivity to changes in heat rate and thereby improve gyro performance during warm-up and periods of thermal cycling.
