Fiber optic gyroscope is the fiber angular velocity sensor, which is the most promising one among various fiber optic sensors. The fiber optic gyroscope, like the ring laser gyroscope, has the advantages of no mechanical moving parts, no warm-up time, insensitive acceleration, wide dynamic range, digital output, and small size. In addition, the fiber optic gyroscope also overcomes the fatal shortcomings of ring laser gyroscopes such as high cost and blocking phenomenon. Therefore, fiber optic gyroscopes are valued by many countries. Low-precision civilian fiber optic gyroscopes have been produced in small batches in Western Europe. It is estimated that in 1994, the sales of fiber optic gyroscopes in the American gyroscope market will reach 49%, and the cable gyroscope will take the second place (accounting for 35% of sales).

An optical fiber sensor is a sensor that converts the state of the measured object into a measurable light signal. The working principle of the optical fiber sensor is to send the incident light beam from the light source into the modulator through the optical fiber. The interaction between the modulator and the external measured parameters determines the optical properties of the light, such as the intensity, wavelength, frequency, phase, polarization state, etc. It changes and becomes a modulated optical signal, which is then sent to the optoelectronic device through the optical fiber and passed through the demodulator to obtain the measured parameters. During the whole process, the light beam is introduced through the optical fiber, passes through the modulator, and then emitted. The role of the optical fiber is first to transmit the light beam, and secondly to act as an optical modulator.

With the rapid development of the Internet, network users' demands for network bandwidth are increasing day by day. In order to meet the needs of the market, the backbone of the communication network has undergone tremendous changes, and the traditional access network that has been changing less has become a bottleneck in the entire network, and various new broadband access technologies have become research hotspots.

The semiconductor laser amplifier is small in size, wide in frequency band, and high in gain, but the biggest weakness is that the coupling loss with the optical fiber is too large, and it is easily affected by the ambient temperature, so its stability is poor. Semiconductor optical amplifiers are easy to integrate and are suitable for use in combination with optical integration and optoelectronic integrated circuits.

In various optical fiber interference instruments, in order to obtain the maximum coherence efficiency, the polarization state of the optical fiber propagating light is required to be very stable. The transmission of light in a single-mode fiber is actually two orthogonal polarization fundamental modes. When the optical fiber is an ideal optical fiber, the transmitted fundamental mode is two orthogonal double degenerate states, and the actual optical fiber is drawn due to There will be unavoidable defects, which will destroy the double degenerate state and cause the polarization state of the transmitted light to change, and this effect will become more and more obvious as the length of the fiber grows. At this time, the best way is to use Polarization maintaining fiber.
