Method and system for calibrating a fiber optic gyroscope

摘要

According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for calibrating a fiber optic gyroscope is provided. A method is provided for calibrating a fiber optic gyroscope. First and second portions of light from a first light source are propagated through a fiber optic line in respective first and second directions. A first voltage that causes a predetermined phase shift between the first and second portions of the light from the first light source is calculated. First and second portions of light from a second light source are propagated through the fiber optic line in the respective first and second directions. A second voltage that causes the predetermined phase shift between the first and second portions of the light from the second light is calculated. A difference between the first voltage and the second voltage is then calculated.
