Abstract

The resonant micro-optic gyroscope (RMOG) is one of the most promising candidates for chip-scale optoelectronic gyroscopes. A broadband source-driven RMOG based on a multi-turn waveguide-type ring resonator (WRR) has been proposed and demonstrated. The theoretical sensitivity is enhanced with the multi-turn structure, while the parasitic backscattering can be resolved by the use of the broadband source, thus greatly improving the long-term bias stability of the RMOG. We also reduce the relative intensity noise (RIN)-induced error of the broadband source at the gyro output by optimizing the number of loop turns of the WRR, and improve the angle random walk (ARW) by 4.8 dB compared with the case of a single-turn WRR. Finally, a bias stability of 1°/h is obtained with a 5-turn WRR of 4.05 cm diameter, achieving the tactical-grade resolution. To the best of our knowledge this is the best result reported to date for an RMOG of similar size.
