ABSTRACT:
A laser gyro start up apparatus and method that safely and quickly starts a laser gyro. A microprocessor sequences the mechanical and electrical systems of the laser gyro such that the gyro is started up quickly in the proper sequence. The microprocessor also executes tests on the gyro and provides a health signal in the timing sequence. The start up apparatus starts the laser block dither, laser discharge and acquires the path length controllers. Optical start up operations may be performed including the calibration of volts per mode.
