    摘要: A four-frequency laser gyroscope system having improved accuracy is constructed using a single solid block of low thermal coefficient of expansion material. A four-segment nonplanar propagation path provides a first frequency splitting. A second splitting is provided by a Faraday rotator having a thin slab of rare earth-doped glass positioned within an aperture in a permanent magnet. A narrow angle of incidence is provided for the beams of incident upon the output mirror to prevent cross coupling between beams within the output optics structure. Blocking the gaseous flow path reduces output frequency drift caused by contamininating particles.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for accounting for phase differences in a transmit path of an optical system is provided. A transmit control system nullifies phase errors in signals propagating from a coherent source to phase samplers and back to a transmitter sensor. A small time-dependent length modulation is applied to a feed fiber of each aperture and this modulation enables a hill-climbing servo loop to increase, or in some cases even maximize, a detected intensity. This results in a particular relationship between the phases at all the phase-sampling points. The optical system is then calibrated so that this relationship corresponds to in-phase beams when the optical system is aimed at boresight.

    摘要: A low cost automatic frequency control system measures short duration radio frequencies with high a degree of accuracy within 0.5 MHz. The system is programmable to allow applicability over a wide range of frequencies within the required accuracy and various signal durations. The system includes circuits to digitize the source signal to a digital pulse train and asynchronously sample the pulse train to obtain a count of the positive edges of the pulses over a sufficient number of samples. A microprocessor computes the statistical average of the count and accurately determines the frequency of the source signal. The system further includes a feedback path to implement correction to the source signal based on the measured frequency.

    摘要: A ring laser gyro uses a nonplanar path having at least one plane of mirror symmetry and two pathlength control mirrors in order to reduce scatter variations occurring during the operation of the laser gyro. The mirrors used to produce such path are fixed to an isotropic supporting block having passages therein that define the path segments and the mirrors are moved out or in by the expansion or contraction of the block. The two pathlength control mirrors are disposed diagonally opposite each other on the plane of mirror symmetry, and are placed on substrates whose positions are controllable, each substrate being coupled to means for controlling the positions of the substrates as a function of the pathlength. With such a mirror configuration, the pathlength may be held constant by a suitable control means and the relative movement of the mirrors constrains movement, with respect to the mirrors, of the beams circulating in the path to directions perpendicular to the planes of incidence on the mirrors. This causes the beams to sample substantially the same scatter points, normally present on the mirror surfaces, with substantially the same phase throughout the range of movement of the beams.

    摘要: A laser gyro system wherein a plurality of nonplanar ring laser gyros are nested within a common supporting block of material. The nonplanar ring laser gyros have a ring path whose circumscribing volume has a size of the order of the volume of the supporting block, each ring path utilizing a portion of the volume unused by the other. In one embodiment, a cubic block contains two orthogonal tetrahedral ring laser gyros. The two rings intersect and share a common gas envelope. In another embodiment, the supporting block contains two orthohedral ring laser paths.

    摘要: A four frequency laser gyroscope system having a rugged and compact output structure for producing output signals representing the frequency differences between counter-circulating wave pairs circulating as two beams within the gyroscope cavity. A partially transmitting dielectric mirror forms both one of the cavity reflectors and the means for extracting a small portion of each beam. The two extracted beams are combined on a beam splitter. Both the transmitted and reflected beams from the output of the beam splitter, each containing waves of all four frequencies, are utilized. Each resultant beam is then polarization discriminated to extract the desired signal content. The entire structure is adapted for rigid mechanical coupling and may be constructed to have a small size.
