Experimental demonstration of mode-matching and Sagnac effect in a millimeter-scale wedged resonator gyroscope
Fig. 1. Optical circuit of the experiment. VOA, variable optical attenuator; PC, polarization controller; BS, beam splitter; AOM, acoustic optical modulator; PD, photodetector; OSC, oscilloscope; LIA, lock-in amplifier. The inset illustrates the top view of the coupling between the wedged resonator and the fiber taper.
Fig. 2. Characterization of the fiber taper. (a)–(d) are the side view scanning electron microscope images of the fiber taper. (e) illustrates the diameters of the fiber taper versus relative distances to the marked point in the experiment along the
Fig. 3. Experimental results. (a) Transmission spectra of the wedged resonator coupled with different positions of the fiber taper characterized by different diameters. The inset illustrates the theoretical prediction
Fig. 4. Experimental results. (a) Gyroscope readouts versus LIA reference frequency for different rotation directions. (b) Gyroscope readouts versus rotation velocity with fixed LIA reference frequency and the same rotation direction.
Fig. 5. Experimental results. Gyroscope readouts when the wedged resonator experiences rest-accelerating-rotate uniformly-decelerating-rest five states for different rotation velocities and different directions. From top to bottom, the rotation modes are 5 deg/s CCW, 7 deg/s CW, and 8 deg/s CCW, respectively.
Fig. 6. Detected frequency beat versus rotation frequency. CW and CCW rotation directions are marked by triangles and circles, respectively. The solid line denotes the theoretical curve presented by Eq. (
