The interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) are well known as sensors of rotation, which are based on Sagnac effect, and have been under development for a number of years to meet a wide range of performance requirements. This paper describes the development of open-loop FOG and digital signal processing techniques implemented on FPGA. Our primary goal was to obtain intermediate accuracy (pointing grade) with a good bias stability ($0.22^{\circ}/hr$) and scale factor stability, extremely low angle random walk ($0.07^{\circ}/\sqrt{hr}$) and significant cost savings by using a single mode fiber. A secondary goal is to design all digital FOG signal processing algorithms with which the SNR at the digital demodulator output is enhanced substantially due to processing gain. The CIC type of decimation block only requires adders and shift registers, low cost processors which has low computing power still can used in this all digital FOG processor.

다양한 분야의 요구에 따라 반사율이 99.995% 이상인 고반사 저손실 반사경의 제작이 가능해 지면서 반사경의 산란, 투과, 흡수 및 손실 등을 측정하는 여러 측정 방법들도 더불어 연구되어 왔다. 적용 분야에 따라 사용될 반사경의 특성이 결정되는데 그 중 중력파 측정 장치$^{(1)}$ , 광자 감쇠 분광기$^{(2)}$ 등의 분야에서는 투과, 산란 및 흡수가 모두 작은 저손실 반사경을 요구한다. 한편 링 레이저 자이로스코프의 경우 반사경의 산란이 곧 lock-in을 결정하여 성능을 제한하는 중요한 변수가 된다. 따라서 이 응용의 경우 반사경의 산란을 정확히 측정하는 일은 중요하며 위치에 따른 산란분포 정보를 알면 링 레이저 자이로스코프의 성능 예측과 개선이 더욱 쉬워진다. 산란을 측정하는 직접적인 방법에는 ARS(angle resolved scattering)과 TIS(total integrated scattering)이 있는데, 본 연구에서는 TIS 측정 장비를 반사경의 위치에 따른 산란분포까지 측정할 수 있도록 mapping 기능을 첨가하고 이온빔 스퍼터링에 의해 제작된 저산란 반사경을 측정하기 위해 높은 분해능을 갖도록 구성하였다. 반사경의 응용분야의 필요에 의해 45$^{\circ}$ 산란을 측정하였다.

In general, open-loop fiber-optic gyroscopes (FOG) are less stable than closed-loop FOGs but they offer simpler implementation. The typical operation time of line-of-sight (LOS) stabilization systems is a few seconds to one hour. In this paper, a open-loop fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) for LOS applications is designed and implemented. The design goal is aimed at implementing a low cost, compact FOG with low Angle Random Walk (ARW) (< $0.03deg/\sqrt{h}$) and bias instability (< 0.25deg/h). The FOG uses an open-loop all-fiber configuration with 100M PM fiber wound on a small diameter spool. In order to get the design goal, digital signal processing techniques for signal detection, modulation control and compensation are designed and implemented in FPGA.
