Model of a laser gyroscope with frequency dithering
- JSC Center VOSPI, Moscow (Russian Federation)
The model of a laser gyroscope (LG) with frequency dithering is described by a system of recurrent equations for the electric fields of counterpropagating waves. The phenomenon of frequency locking is taken into account in the form of the wave coupling through backward scattering; the frequency bias factor is the controlled phase nonreciprocity. The character of the output signal is considered, which corresponds to two types of frequency dithering, namely, sinusoidal and in the form of meander that are produced by various methods, including intracavity phase modulation. Results of calculation of a frequency characteristic of the LG are presented as functions of frequency dithering, rotational velocity and LG parameters. It is shown that the method of processing an output signal by measuring the time interval between intensity oscillations has an advantage due to the absence of so-called dynamic lock-in zones in the output characteristic.
