Study of the distributed H-parameter of an anisotropic optical fiber in a multi-layer coil of a fiberoptic gyroscope

Resumo

An investigation has been performed on the distributed H-parameter in an anisotropic optical fiber with an elliptical strained shell in a multilayer coil of a fiberoptic gyroscope. Each fiber length is ~50 m and there are five layers. Studies have been carried out using three variants of coils. In the first variant, the layers were permeated by epoxy; in the second coil, the layers were permeated with silicon-based material; and, in the third variant, the coils were wound up without impregnation (using dry winding). The different influence of compressive mechanical stresses on the distributed H-parameter of the studied fiber has been observed depending on the variant of coil impregnation.
