摘要: It is found that when the parity-time symmetry phenomenon is introduced into the resonant optical gyro system and it works near the exceptional point, the sensitivity can in theory be significantly amplified at low angular rate. However, in fact, the exceptional point is easily disturbed by external environmental variables, which means that it depends on harsh experimental environment and strong control ability, so it is difficult to move towards practical application. Here, we propose a new angular rate sensor structure based on exceptional surface, which has the advantages of high sensitivity and high robustness. The system consists of two fiber-optic ring resonators and two optical loop mirrors, and one of the resonators contains a variable ratio coupler and a variable optical attenuator. We theoretically analyze the system response, and the effects of phase and coupling ratio on the system response. Finally, compared with the conventional resonant gyro, the sensitivity of this exceptional surface angular rate sensor can be improved by about 300 times at low speed. In addition, by changing the loss coefficient in the ring resonator, we can achieve a wide range of 600 rad/s. This scheme provides a new approach for the development of ultra-high sensitivity and wide range angular rate sensors in the future.
