Abstract
For the first time, we introduce a novel double-cylinder winding method for reducing the Shupe effect in interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes (IFOGs). Simulation by finite element method (FEM) is performed to calculate the dynamic temperature distribution of fiber coils, which can obtained thermal-induced rate errors in IFOGs with cross-wound coil and double cylinder-wound coil respectively. Simulation results reveal that thermal-induced rate errors in IFOGs by both winding methods can be substantially reduced under the same variable temperature conditions, but the latter has a simpler winding technology. This study is promising for reducing the temperature fragility of IFOGs.
