Public award description
IGF::OT::IGF THE ROTATION SENSITIVITY OF A CONVENTIONAL OPTICAL INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM (INS)DEPENDS ON THE AREA ENCLOSED BY A CIRCULAR OPTICAL PATH. HENCE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE DEVICE SIZE WITHOUT SACRIFICING ITS SENSITIVITY. RECENT WORK SHOWED THAT CERTAIN NON-LINEAR OPTICAL EFFECTS (FAST LIGHT) CAN BE USED TO INCREASE THE SENSITIVITY OF A RING LASER GYRO OF A GIVEN SIZE BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. WE PROPOSE A PORTABLE HIGH-PERFORMANCE ALL-FIBER LASER GYROSCOPE. THE DEVICE WILL UTILIZE FAST LIGHT PRODUCED BY THE STIMULATED BRILLOUIN SCATTERING IN SINGLE-MODE FIBERS. FAST LIGHT ENHANCEMENT WILL ENABLE REDUCTION OF THE DEVICE SIZE WITHOUT DECREASING ITS PERFORMANCE LEVEL. THE FAST LIGHT ENHANCED GYROSCOPE WILL EMPOWER A RUGGED, COMPACT, LOW-COST HIGH-SENSITIVITY INS IDEAL FOR PRECISION GUIDING OF UAVS, AND OTHER AIRCRAFTS.
