Research abstract
Recent trends in Interferometric Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (IFOG) development have focused on system miniaturization and cost reduction for tactical weapon systems. Due to the significant cost advantage of single mode (SM) fibers, depolarized IFOGs havegreat potential in meeting low cost goals. A Phase I objective is a thorough investigation of stress induced birefringence in SM micro sensor coils. The second objective is an innovative crossover-free winding approach will be developed followed by apreliminary design of an automated winder for the crossover-free micro sensor coil. Micro sensor coils can be used in IFOGs and other fiber sensors applications. A wide variety of military and commercial applications exist. Military applications includeguidance and control of missiles, aircraft, unmanned vehicles/aircraft, submariness, ships, satellites, and spacecraft. Commercial applications include guidance and control of passenger and cargo aircraft/cruise ships/cargo ships, automotive navigation,robotics, and platform stabilization applications.
