Micro-ring cavity gyroscope with magnetic field lock-in minimization
The invention is a compact optical gyroscope based on the Sagnac effect that combines a micro-ring cavity laser comprising a magneto-optical material and a magnetic field to circumvent the lock-in phenomenon at low rates of rotation. The invention also embodies novel processes for breaking lock-in u...

Zusammenfassung: | The invention is a compact optical gyroscope based on the Sagnac effect that combines a micro-ring cavity laser comprising a magneto-optical material and a magnetic field to circumvent the lock-in phenomenon at low rates of rotation. The invention also embodies novel processes for breaking lock-in using a transverse Faraday effect. |
