Title: Ring laser gyroscope
Inventor: DAVID B HALL
IPC: H01S3/083
Filed: 1990-04-24
Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain a multipolar field structure for ring laser gyroscope where the axial field is arranged appropriately by providing means including a magnetic means for imparting a nonreciprocal polarized rotation of electromagnetic wave. CONSTITUTION: The ring laser gyroscope comprises an integral hard glass frame 11 and an optical path 20 defines a path connecting corner mirrors 18, 22 and 26. A metallization cathode 12 and a pair of side anodes 14, 16 are arranged along one leg of the optical path 20. When a multioscillator is arranged on a different face, reciprocal splitting of two sets of right and left circularity polarized light is attained through geometrical arrangement of the different face of mirrors 26, 24, 22 and 18 defining the optical path 20. Nonreciprocal splitting between reversely propagating clockwise and counter clockwise modes is attained through the use of a Faraday rotor disposed in a bore 30. In order to attain nonreciprocal rotation of the Faraday rotor, a field for causing nonreciprocal splitting of right and left circularly polarized lights is applied to a glass rotor.
