Fiber Gyro Coils
FC series coils are high performance fiber gyro coils constructed with specialized potting adhesive, winding techniques and process controls, and available with extensive test data.
Product Description
The FC series of fiber gyro coils are available with lengths of 50 meters to 5 kilometers and
diameters of 15 millimeters to 120 millimeters. Coils can be made with many different types of
SM and PM fibers. The frameless coils are constructed with proprietary potting adhesives to
ensure reliability. Coil patterns available include quadrupole and octupole patterns that minimize the Shupe effect and consequent performance degradation of Sagnac gyros under temperature-varying conditions.
Additional Shupe effect mitigation is available to further improve the temperature and vibration performance of the coils. Moreover, mounting service is available upon request to maintain the coil performance for high demanding applications.
The FC series is available with complete test data including polarization cross-talk vs. distance for PM fiber coils; and PDL vs. temperature and PMD vs. temperature for SM fiber coils.
Solutions and Applications
The FC series fiber gyro coils are intended for high-performance fiber gyros. They can be made with different fibers, dimensions, and winding patterns to suit specific applications.
