ABSTRACT:
A ring laser gyro that minimizes and avoids the effects of lock-in and backscatter. A ring laser is pumped in a lasing cavity with a mode-locked laser. Dual counterrotating pumped pulses are precisely positioned to avoid overlay in optical elements that contribute to lock-in and backscatter. The position of the stimulated counter rotating laser beams is controlled by two methods. In the first method the pumped pulses are synchronized with a wave propagation delay line. In the second method the pumped pulses are chopped by an acousto-optic modulator shutter to precisely time the location of the pumped pulses. Both methods are can be combined to achieve a hybrid synchronized and acousto-optic modulated approach.
