摘要:
Single beam signal (SBS) components of the laser intensity monitor (LIM) signal are blanked from the path length control circuit (PLC). The AC component of the LIM signal, less the SBS components, is then integrated to produce a transducer mirror drive signal. SBS component blanking is synchronized to the dither pick-off signal. Peak power operation of the PLC is enhanced through the removal of the SBS components from the LIM signal.

A circuit for controlling the run current in a ring laser gyro includes circuitry for sensing temperature, supplying a current to the ring laser gyro and controlling the current supplied to the ring laser gyro and the current varies depending on the temperature. The current changes at predetermined temperature points.

To reduce the accumulative lock-in effects of the ring laser gyroscope, the dither circuitry is provided with low frequency dither amplitude modulation. Such modulation is achieved by first developing a pair of complementary low frequency dither noise signals. These low frequency dither noise signals are then utilized by a modulator to modulate the dither drive signal in conjunction with the low frequency dither noise signals. This results in a system which allows much more dither amplitude modulation with much less output from the drive amplifiers. Because of the ability to increase amplitude modulation, gyro performance is greatly improved.

An RLG has a laser beam current control system which controls the current so as to produce a constant beam intensity, allowing the RLG to operate at a current level continuously matched to the operating conditions, thus extending the operating life of the RLG.
摘要:
A drive assembly and control circuit for a mirror assembly. Two piezoelectric discs are mounted on a diaphragm which is centrally connected to the mirror to move it. The drive circuit includes a source and first and second control means responsive to first and second control input signals to change the potential across the piezoelectric discs.
