Abstract

Fiber coil wound by polarization-maintaining fiber is an important part of fiber optic gyroscope. Its distributed polarization-mode coupling degrades the performance of fiber optic gyroscope on drift bias. Characterization of distributed polarization-mode coupling coefficient could evaluate the quality of fiber coils. In addition, it can help improve the wound technique, and then suppress the polarization-mode coupling. The optical coherence domain polarimetry system based on white-light interferometer is a suitable instrument for characterizing the distributed polarization-mode coupling of polarization-maintaining fibers. This chapter contains the measurement and analysis of polarization-mode coupling, system performance improvement of the optical coherence domain system, dispersion effect suppression of fiber coil under test, and the diagnosis for fiber coil.
