Zusammenfassung:	A start up apparatus for starting the laser beams in a laser angular rate sensor with improved reliability and in a reduced amount of time uses an electrically conductive material (210) adjacent to and extending along the outer wall portions of a laser block (10). Switch means (230) are provided for selectively connecting said electrically conductive material (210) to a cathode (30) or an anode (17, 21). This serves to initialize an electrical current between said anode and said cathode through the gas.
