ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for measuring the angular velocity of a rotating substantially transparent object about an object rotation axis. The apparatus excites an electromagnetic field in a resonator such that an electromagnetic beam propagates along the propagation axis parallel to the object rotation axis. The apparatus then detects a field component of the electromagnetic beam. The detected field component of the electromagnetic beam indicates the angular velocity of the object.
