Utilization of the Zeeman Effect to Lower the Threshold of Sensitivity of a Laser Gyroscope,

Abstract

The threshold of sensitivity of a laser gyroscope can be lowered by the static displacement of the instrument characteristics. This can be accomplished by using the Zeeman effect. The method includes the imposition of a constant magnetic field onto an active medium. This leads to the appearance of frequency f(o) at a point where the value of the measured angular velocity v = 0. The magnitude and sign of v are determined by comparing the values of the current f(p) and initial f(o) frequencies. The purpose of this article is to study the use of the dependence f(p) in the presence of f(o) upon field intensity H and the parameters of the laser gyroscope.
