摘要: In a multiple axis ring laser gyroscope in which one or more of the laser cavity corner mirrors is or are shared by different cavities and in which the laser beams in these different cavities operate at the same nominal frequency, scattering of the beam in one cavity into another cavity by the shared mirror(s) may produce disadvantageous lock-in effects. To at least lessen this possibility, the frequencies of the beams in the gyroscope disclosed herein are offset one from another, the offset being sufficient to affect lock in but not so great that the frequency of any beam is overly far from the lasing medium gain curve center. The frequency offsets may be produced by introducing offset bias signals into some channels of the gyroscope path length control servosystem.

摘要: A monolithic ring laser gyroscope is formed by six mirrors mounted to the respective center of each face in a cube. Bores in the cube interconnect each of the mirrors. Three orthogonal planes are defined within the cube, each of which contains a laser cavity. Accordingly, three orthogonal beam paths exist, each responsive to rotational inputs about three orthogonal axes.

摘要: In a method for positioning three translatable mirrors in a device that includes three laser cavities arranged in a ring, each of the three laser cavities includes an optical amplification medium that can be excited to generate light waves. Each of the three laser cavities also includes an optical cavity formed by a set of mirrors including two of the translatable mirrors, the length of the optical cavity depending on the position of the two translatable mirrors, wherein the two translatable mirrors can be moved within position ranges imparting to the optical cavity lengths at which the amplification medium generates at least one laser wave. Each of the three translatable mirrors is used in the formation of two of the three optical cavities. The method includes the phase of prepositioning the three mirrors at an initial triplet of predetermined respective positions. The method also includes the phase of simultaneously moving in translation the three mirrors within ranges having a same amplitude that is lower than or equal to the intermode of the optical cavity having the highest intermode, to ensure that each of the optical cavities has a length for which the amplification medium provides a maximum gain. The intensities of the laser waves flowing respectively through each of the optical cavities are measured for each triplet of positions assumed by the mirrors. The method also includes the phase of determining, from the three triplets of mirror positions that respectively allowed each of the three cavities to provide a maximum intensity, the length of each of the three cavities at which the cavity provides a maximum intensity. The method further includes the phase of determining a single final triplet of mirror positions for simultaneously imparting to the three lengths at which they provide a maximum intensity. The method also includes the phase of positioning the mirrors according to the final position triplet. The invention can be used in positioning and navigation.

摘要: Triaxial ring laser gyroscopes have three interconnecting cavities which provide many paths along which discharge can be initiated, and consequently it has been found that it is difficult to achieve the correct discharge. It is therefore proposed to align the desired discharge paths with the electrostatic fields which exist due to the voltage differences between the cathode and each one of the six anodes to enhance the initiation of the correct discharge.

摘要: A ring loser gyroscope for sensing rotations about three orthogonal axes. A frame includes and internal arrangement of three intersecting cavities, each of which is arranged for measuring rotation about one of the orthogonal axes. Each cavity comprises a non-planar arrangement of four cavity legs. A pair of anodes and a cathode cooperate with the intersecting cavities and, in one embodiment, with bypass tubes, whereby undesired Fresnel-Frizeau phase shifts are eliminated by gas flow effect cancellations.
