In the field of small unmanned helicopter, strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) of laser gyro is not only used for navigation, but also used for flight attitude control. The requirement of navigation accuracy and real-time capability of laser gyro SINS is higher. But the traditional high-order FIR low pass filter to laser gyro IMU signals has a large time delay, so that the filter is difficult to satisfy the system. In order to take care of the measurement accuracy and response time, a filter method that combined LMS adaptive notch filter and low-order FIR low pass filter is studied, and the IIR narrowband filter is introduced in order to solve the acquisition problem of the dither frequency reference signal. Theoretical analysis and test results show that the method can not only effectively eliminate the impact of the dither offset frequency signal and the outside world high frequency noise, but also can significantly reduce delay time to 2 ms. It has very high engineering practical value.
Aiming at the problem that the navigation information source fusion algorithm of the U.S. military navigation sensor system interface relies on experience in parameter setting and does not fuse the course, a navigation information source fusion algorithm based on adaptive exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) is proposed.

Lithium niobate thin film has become the preferred optical material in the field of tunable Fabry-Perot filter, electro-optic modulator and other devices towards integration and miniaturization because of its excellent optical properties and the advantages of easy integration with compact optical waveguides and other devices. However, due to the size difference between optical waveguide and optical fiber, there is a serious mode field mismatch, which leads to a large insertion loss when the optical fiber is coupled with optical waveguide. In this paper, as an ultra-high numerical aperture (UHNA) fiber is directly coupled with ridge waveguide, optical properties such as light field mode distribution, coupling efficiency and loss are analyzed by simulation. The results show that as the etching depth and width are 300 nm and 0.8 μm, respectively, the coupling efficiency between the LiNbO3 ridge waveguide and the single-mode fiber (UHNA7) can reach 33.8% and the coupling loss is 4.71 dB. The simulation also compares that when the upper cladding material is replaced with silicon dioxide and silicon nitride materials, the coupling efficiency value of the ridge waveguide and single-mode fiber is significantly increased to 63.4% and the coupling loss is reduced to 1.98 dB.

The result will provide reference for related applications such as satellite laser communication.
