摘要： A longitudinally pumped laser including one or more active lasing media arranged in an optical laser cavity and at least one pumping device emitting at least one pumping beam toward the at least one active lasing medium. The pumped beam or beams is coupled with the active medium. At least one of the active lasing media includes one or more non-homogeneously doped zones, and the dimension of the doped zones and/or the distribution of the dopants is chosen on the basis of the desired transverse mode of the laser cavity. Such a laser can be used as an amplifier.

摘要： The field of the invention is that of solid-state laser gyros. One of the major problems inherent in this technology is that the optical cavity of this type of laser gyro is by nature highly unstable. To reduce this instability, controlled optical are introduced into the cavity that depend on the direction of propagation by using acoustooptic devices. Several devices are described, employing different configurations of acoustooptic devices. These devices apply in particular to laser gyros having monolithic cavities, and in particular to neodymium-doped YAG laser gyros.

摘要： The field of the invention is that of solid-state laser gyros used in inertial control units. However, there are certain technical difficulties in producing laser gyros of this type that are due partly to the fact that the counterpropagating waves interfere with each other in the amplifying medium. A laser gyro according to the invention comprises at least one solid-state amplifying medium and an optical ring cavity comprising first optical means for imposing a first linear polarization state common to the two counterpropagating optical waves at the entrance and exit of the zone containing the amplifying medium and second optical means for imposing, within the amplifying medium, a second linear polarization state on the first optical wave and a third linear polarization state on the second optical wave, these polarization states being perpendicular. Thus, all the drawbacks associated with interference are eliminated.

摘要： The field of the invention is that of solid-state laser gyros. One of the major inherent problems in this technology is that the optical emission of this type of laser is by nature highly unstable in terms of power. To reduce this instability, the invention proposes to introduce, into the cavity, optical gains controlled by the installation of an optical assembly comprising an anisotropic lasing medium, a first optical element and a second optical element exhibiting a nonreciprocal effect, each acting on the polarization of the counterpropagating optical modes, at least one of these two effects being variable, thus making it possible to introduce controlled optical gains that depend on the propagation direction of the counterpropagating optical modes. Several devices are described and employ either fixed effects of the element that are combined with variable nonreciprocal effects, or the reverse. These devices apply in particular to monolithic-cavity lasers.

摘要： The invention concerns solid-state gyrolasers used to measure rotation speeds or relative angular positions. This type of equipment is used, in particular, in aeronautical applications. The purpose of the invention is to complete the optic devices required to control the instability of lasers, using specific optic devices that eliminate the blind region. In this way, a “fully optic” solid-state laser is obtained, without moving parts, stable, and without blind regions. These devices comprise in particular reciprocal and nonreciprocal optical rotators, arranged so that two counter-propagating optical modes travel in the cavity at sufficiently different frequencies to avoid mode locking.

摘要： The general field of the invention is that of gyrolasers comprising at least one ring-shaped optical cavity comprising at least three mirrors, a solid state amplifying medium pumped by a laser diode whose optical emission power is determined by a current supply source, the cavity and the amplifying medium being such that two so-called contra-rotating optical modes propagate in opposite directions to each other within the said optical cavity, the gyrolaser being a class B gyrolaser, the gyrolaser also comprising means of measuring the difference in optical frequency existing between the two optical modes. The gyrolaser comprises means of measuring the total optical power circulating in the optical cavity and first means of control of the current delivered by the supply source in such a way as to maintain the total optical power substantially constant in a narrow spectral band centred on the relaxation frequency of the laser.

摘要： The field of the invention is that of solid-state laser gyros used for the measurements of rotation speed or relative angular positions. This type of equipment is notably used for aeronautical applications. The object of the invention is to complete the optical devices necessary to control the instability of lasers by specific optical devices enabling elimination of the dead zone and of population inversion gratings exiting in the amplifying medium. An “all optical” solid-state laser is hence obtained without moveable parts, stable and without a dead zone. To this end, the laser gyro according to the invention comprises notably and optical assembly enabling a nonreciprocal optical phase-shift to be introduced between the counterpropagating modes; and control means allowing the phase-shift amplitude to be varied periodically around a mean value that is very approximately zero.

摘要： The field of the invention is that of solid-state ring lasers or laser gyros. The laser gyro according to the invention comprises at least one optical cavity in the form of a ring and a solid-state amplifying medium which are designed so that two counterpropagating optical modes can propagate in opposite directions one with respect to the other inside said optical cavity and pass through the amplifying medium, said amplifying medium being coupled to an electromechanical device imparting on said amplifying medium a periodic translational movement along an axis substantially parallel to the direction of propagation of said optical modes. Thus, the population inversion grating, written by the standing wave into the amplifying medium, which disturbs the nominal operation of the laser gyro, is greatly attenuated.
