Research on time division multiplexing modulation approach applied in three-axis digital closed-loop fiber optic gyroscope

In this paper, the structure and the fundamental principle of a three-axis Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) fiber optic gyroscope system are presented. The design of TDM fiber-optic gyroscope system is mathematically analyzed. An effective modulation approach is developed, the bias stability compared with that of a normal fiber-optic gyroscope is theoretically given and the system dynamic character is presented. In order to test the correctness of the approach, the dynamic simplified model is introduced and the simulation is conducted. The experimental result matches the simulation, indicating that the TDM modulation approach is feasible.
