Abstract

How to improve the sensitivity of new pattern of gyroscope which is based on micro ring resonator is widely researched. And periodically modulating coupling coefficient and area are the two most common schemes. Moreover, when the area of the square difference is large enough, the precision of gyroscope of the latter is higher than that of the former by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude. But increasing modulation area will narrow the transmission band, it will impact on our measurement of the inertial rotation. What’s more, this modulation method is very sensitive to the coupling coefficient between the micro rings. Simultaneously, the slope of the center resonance peak will be quickly decayed with the increase of the coupling coefficient. Generally, there's no sense to our modulation when the coupled coefficient is over 0.1. In this paper, we use the way of combining the two schemes to study the performance of the gyroscope which includes it's precision and how to reduce interference when it applied to devices. We found that the accuracy of rotation produced by our scheme is higher than that of simply modulating coupling coefficient or coupling area. And the sensitivity of gyroscope achieved by the new method is times higher than that of the general of coupled resonator optical waveguide, and there is almost no limit to the coupled coefficient based on our coupling scheme. What’s more, the steepest transmission resonance of the transmission band appears at Ω = 0 and other resonance peaks around the center resonance are completely suppressed because of the effective superlattice structure, which will effectively reduce the interference during our measurement.
