In the space environment, the precision of fibre optic gyroscopes (FOGs) degrades because of space radiation.Photonic components of FOGs axe affected by radiation, especially the polaxization-maintaining (PM) fibre coil.In relation to the space radiation environment characteristic, we have carried out a series of radiation experiments on a PM fibre coil with 60Co radiation source at different dose rates. Based on the experimental results, the formula between the PM-fibre loss and radiation dose rata is built, and the relation between the precision of FOG and radiation dose is obtained accordingly. The results strongly show that the precision of our FOG degrades owing to the attenuation of the polarization-maintaining fibre, which provides theoretical foundation for the radiation-resistant design of the FOG.
