Fiber gas lasers and fiber ring laser gyroscopes based on these gas lasers

摘要

This invention discloses to a type of fiber gas lasers and fiber ring laser gyroscopes based on these fiber gas lasers. The fiber gas lasers comprise of excitation gases, optical resonator and excitation source, etc. The optical resonator is made by connecting two selected arms of a single mode fiber coupler to the two ends of hollow-core fiber to form a ring resonator. The hollow-core of the fiber is filled with excitation gases to act as gain medium. The fiber laser is simple to construct, lower cost, and has adjustable size and good amplification performance. The fiber ring laser gyroscopes based on this novel type of gas lasers can be applied on robotics, automobile navigation, etc.
