Abstract
The present invention provides an angular velocity detection method adopting a bi-directional full reciprocal coupling optoelectronic oscillator, which is implemented on an optical carrier microwave gyroscope. The optical carrier microwave gyroscope is a bi-directional resonant optical carrier microwave angular velocity measurement device sharing one optical fiber loop. The core of the method lies in that the Sagnac effect is sensed using a bi-directional optical carrier microwave resonant cavity, where the optical carrier microwave resonant cavity employs a coupling optoelectronic oscillator to achieve a bi-directional full reciprocal optical fiber path, and non-reciprocity error of the resonant cavity is eliminated effectively. The angular velocity detection method has features of high-precision, easy implementation and low costs.
