Stimulated rate optical power measurement in a fiber optic gyroscope

摘要: Fiber optic gyroscopes having integrated power measurement capabilities and related methods apparatus. More particularly, fiber an method for determining the optical by applying electronic stimulated rate internal to closed loop digital electronics of monitoring counts out per second (COPS) using each gyroscope's output signal. Knowing a COPS value, can be determined dividing constant K i.e. Optical Power=K/COPS. The value is specific gyroscope, calculated or measured.
