A schematic of the system is shown in fig. 3. The modulation and demodulation system comprises a fiber-optic gyroscope optical subsystem, a signal processing and converting subsystem and a modulation and demodulation subsystem. The following describes each subsystem in detail.
(1) Optical fiber gyro optical subsystem
The optical path subsystem of the fiber-optic gyroscope (i.e. the optical path system of the fiber-optic gyroscope in embodiment 1) is used for outputting optical interference signals to the signal processing and converting subsystem in real time, and is also used for receiving analog modulation signals output by the modulation and demodulation subsystem in real time and carrying out real-time phase modulation on the fiber-optic gyroscope.
In this embodiment, the fiber-optic gyro optical subsystem is composed of a light source, a coupler, a fiber-optic ring, an integrated optical modulator and a photodetector, and can realize the Sagnac effect of the fiber-optic gyro.
In particular operation, the light source produces a stable optical signal that is the basis for subsequent interference and modulation. The coupler splits the optical signal into two beams that propagate in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions of the fiber optic ring, respectively. When the optical fiber ring rotates, the two light signals generate optical path difference due to rotation, so that a Sagnac phase difference is formed, and the Sagnac phase difference is a core representation of the Sagnac effect. The integrated optical modulator carries out real-time phase modulation on the two light signals according to the received analog modulation signals, and the modulation signals are overlapped with Sagnac phase differences so as to facilitate subsequent signal processing. The two modulated optical signals interfere at the coupler, and the intensity change of the interference signals reflects the combined effect of the Sagnac phase difference and the modulation phase. The photodetector converts the interference light signal into an electrical signal, and outputs an optical power signal (i.e., an interference signal) related to the interference intensity, which contains information of the Sagnac effect, for subsequent demodulation and calculation of the rotational angular velocity. From the above, the optical interference signal is output from the photodetector, and the analog modulation signal is applied to the integrated optical modulator.

The additional modulation signal generation module 9 is configured to periodically output an additional modulation signal.
In this embodiment, the period of the additional modulation signal is 2nτ, where τ is the transit time of the fiber-optic gyroscope and N is a positive integer. Since the change in optical power is a very slow process, the value of N can be very large.
In one period of the additional modulation signal, the duration of the additional interference signal is 2τ, the amplitude of the additional interference signal in the first τ is pi/M, the amplitude of the additional interference signal in the second τ is-pi/M, and M is a positive integer.

In the specific implementation process, the step wave signal output by the step wave signal generating module 5, the normal modulation signal output by the normal modulation signal generating module 8 and the additional modulation signal generated by the additional modulation signal generating module 9 are synchronously overlapped in the modulation signal combining module 10 by taking the transition time tau as a period.
The modulation mode has the advantages that the modulation signals required by the normal operation of the fiber-optic gyroscope, namely the normal modulation signal and the step wave signal, are combined, and additional modulation signals for maintaining the precision can be considered. The modulation mode can not influence the normal operation of the fiber-optic gyroscope, and simultaneously generates the optical power to be demodulated brought by the additional modulation signal at the demodulation end, so as to realize the demodulation of the optical power.
