  • Patent number: 11624635
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for realizing high stability of micro-nano optical fiber sagnac loop output by means of filter mode control, and belongs to the field of photoelectric detection technologies. In the present invention, the optical filter is combined with the micro-nano optical fiber Sagnac interference structure so as to control the Sagnac in-loop working mode by use of the mode selection characteristics of the filter. In this way, the interference mode is suppressed to better concentrate energy on the working mode, thereby improving the spectrum output uniformity and stability of the Sagnac loop. Further, the reflection and transmission modes of the optical filter do not participate in interference spectrum output and thus the performance of the system will not be affected. By designing and changing the parameters of the optical filter, the output characteristics of the interferometer can be dynamically controlled.
