  • Discriminant apparatus for ring laser angular rate sensors
    Patent number: 4637723
    Abstract: In the present application, a discriminant apparatus for a ring laser angular rate sensor is described which provides a discriminant signal indicative of the lock-in rate of the sensor derived from the phase difference between the counter-propagating waves therein. The discriminant signal may be employed in a closed-loop control signal system for altering the coupling of energy between the counter-propagating waves in a ring laser angular rate sensor for controlling the value of the lock-in rate to a minimum rate.

  • Discriminant apparatus for laser gyros
    Patent number: 4526469
    Abstract: A discriminant apparatus for laser angular rate sensors which provides an output signal related to a selected weighted vectorial sum of the coupling of energy between counterpropagating waves traveling about a closed-loop path. The discriminant apparatus is utilized in a closed-loop control system for minimizing the lock-in rate of the sensor and/or maintaining and selecting scale factor linearity.
