  • Method and system for minimizing angular random walk or bias in a ring laser gyroscope through the use of temperature based control
    Patent number: 5400141
    Abstract: A system and method is provided which minimizes angular random walk or bias occurring in ring laser gyroscopes as a result of temperature changes. Temperature is known to affect components in a ring laser gyroscope in a manner which increases angular random walk or bias. By detecting temperature and causing movable path length transducers to move mirrors in the gyroscope into a position previously determined for a given temperature, angular random walk or bias is minimized for the given temperature.
