ABSTRACT:
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.
