ABSTRACT:
A ring laser gyro features an arrangement wherein the ionized gas atoms flowing in a sealed envelope in an optical cavity flow transverse to the optical axis of the gyro in the optical gain sections thereof, thereby eliminating gas flow bias errors. An arrangement of the type described has the added advantage of providing a larger gas reservoir in small ring laser gyros which increases the life of the gyro. The transverse discharge arrangement obviates the necessity of equal curents flowing through gas ionizing electrodes and minimizes the tendency for gas flow oscillations at high current values.
