Laser gyrometry
Abstract
Laser gyrometry is placed in perspective alongside classical techniques of gyroscopy. Basic principles of optical gyrometry are put forth, and the ring laser arrangement is examined as a specific realization. Some historical notes on contributions to the development of laser gyrometry are appended.
