Article Abstract
As the second generation of the fiber-optic gyro (FOG), a resonant FOG (RFOG) appears as a very viable candidate for a miniaturized optical gyro. However, due to the impediment of laser-induced parasitic noise and system complexity, the actual performance of the RFOG is well below expectations. This paper proposes a novel, to the best of our knowledge, RFOG which is driven by broadband white light rather than a narrow linewidth laser. The fiber-optic ring resonator (FRR) works as a filter, and the rotation under detection is read out from the round trip loss of the FRR. The parasitic noise is effectively avoided due to the low coherence light, and the measuring resolution can be thus improved. In the experiment, a bias instability of 0.012 /h is demonstrated with a 100-m fiber coil and a very simple structure. The proposed method would be a big step forward for making the RFOG practical with high performance and low cost.

The random error of fiber optic gyros is a critical factor affecting their measurement accuracy. However, the statistical characteristics of these errors exhibit time-varying properties, which degrade model fidelity and consequently impair the performance of random error suppression algorithms. To address these issues, this study first proposes a recursive dynamic Allan variance calculation method that effectively mitigates the poor real-time performance and spectral leakage inherent in conventional dynamic Allan variance techniques.

We present a groundbreaking navigation-grade interferometric air-core fibre optic gyroscope (IFOG) using a quadrupolar-wound coil of four-tube truncated double nested antiresonant nodeless fibre (tDNANF). This state-of-the-art tDNANF simultaneously achieves low loss, low bend loss, single-spatial-mode operation, and exceptional linear polarization purity over a broad wavelength range. Our 469 m tDNANF coil demonstrated a polarization extinction ratio (PER) of ~20 dB when illuminated by an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) source spanning 1525-1565 nm.

The current new type of inertial navigation system, including rotating inertial navigation systems and three-autonomy inertial navigation systems, has been increasingly widely applied. Benefited by the rotating mechanisms of these inertial navigation systems, alignment accuracy can be significantly enhanced by implementing IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) rotation during the alignment process. The principle of suppressing initial alignment errors using rotational modulation technology was investigated, and the impact of various component error terms on alignment accuracy of IMU during rotation was analyzed.

This study proposes an improved multi-scale permutation entropy complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (MPE-CEEMDAN) method based on adaptive Kalman filter (AKF) and grey wolf optimizer-least squares support vector machine (GWO-LSSVM). By establishing a temperature compensation model, the gyro temperature output signal is optimized and reconstructed, and a gyro output signal is obtained with better accuracy. Firstly, MPE-CEEMDAN is used to decompose the FOG output signal into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs); then, the IMFs signal is divided into mixed noise, temperature drift, and other noise according to different frequencies.

The traditional bandwidth measurement equipment, such as the angular vibration table, can only provide angular vibrations of hundreds of hertz and cannot meet the measurement needs of a high bandwidth gyro. We propose an approach, with which a signal of several thousand hertz can be provided and can measure a high bandwidth of I-FOGs.
