Abstract
As a sensitive element of the fiber
optic gyroscope (FOG), the fiber coil has a significant effect on the accuracy of FOG. The
performance of the fiber coil is severely influenced by the internal strain caused by the winding process. In this paper, a n ew
design method is proposed by studying the stress in a quadrupole wound fiber gyro coil comprehensively in order to
decrease the strain variation in the fiber coil, which is the low strain design method. Based on the proposed method, the
tension stress, the bend induced stress and the curing s tress in the fiber coil during the manufacturing process is studied.
Then, the qualified fiber coil for the FOG is obtained by the low strain design method. At last, the experimental results sho w
that the proposed method can effectively reduce the internal strain variation in the fiber coil, which ensures the FOG a good
temperature and vibration performance..
