The laser gyro need not be mechanically dithered. The same result may be achieved by optical devices. A Faraday cell is a piece of crystal, which changes the phase of a light wave traveling through it as a function of an applied magnetic field. The effect is nonreciprocal. A light beam traveling in one direction is advanced in phase, while a light beam traveling in the other direction is retarded in phase. Reversing the magnetic field reverses the effect. Changing the phase of the light beam has the same effect on frequency as changing the path length. This scheme eliminates the vibration problem, but retains the random walk angular position error. 2, record 4, English, - random%20walk

Gyrolaser [...] Le blocage de fréquence immobilise l'onde stationnaire; il résulte d'une interaction (transfert d'énergie thermique) entre les 2 ondes lumineuses : c'est la conséquence de minimes imperfections des miroirs du gyroscope qui diffusent une faible partie de la lumière incidente en sens opposé à la trajectoire initiale.

[...] si le rayon de Larmor de la particule est tel qu'il existe des valeurs de l'angle pour lesquelles la relation (3.16) est vérifiée, la particule subira alors une déflection qui fera varier son angle d'attaque, entraînant du même coup une déviation de sa trajectoire originelle. Le processus alors engagé amènera la particule à rencontrer d'autres résonances qui entraîneront alors une marche au hasard pour la particule. Cette marche au hasard est la base du processus diffusif qui veut qu'une particule perde rapidement le souvenir de sa trajectoire initiale. L'exemple présenté ici est évidemment simpliste (la relation 3.16 n'est pas [toujours valide]). Néanmoins, dans le cas des champs magnétiques chaotiques à trois dimensions, l'idée de résonance reste. Ainsi, il faudra que la particule suive une relation similaire à (3.16) pour qu'elle rencontre des résonances avec le chaos. Si le rayon de Larmor d'une particule est très inférieur (ou supérieur) à la plus petite longueur d'onde du champ chaotique, elle ne subira pas d'effets de diffusion spatiale ou angulaire. 3, record 4, French, - cheminement%20al%C3%A9atoire

Les défauts de surface des miroirs [des gyrolasers], même infimes, provoquent la rétrodiffusion d'une partie de chaque rayon qui se couple alors avec le rayon se propageant dans l'autre sens. Il se crée ainsi un couplage (lock-in) entre les faisceaux lasers et une zone aveugle pour les vitesses angulaires faibles. Pour éviter ce phénomène qui nuirait à la précision de la mesure de rotation, il est nécessaire d'agiter la cavité de mouvements de va-et-vient rapides (dithering). 1, record 5, French, - mouvement%20de%20va%2Det%2Dvient%20rapide

When the RLG [ring laser gyro] is rotating, the path length around the loop is actually different depending if you measure it clockwise or counter-clockwise. This path length difference causes the counter-rotating laser beams to have a different frequency.

Mode pulling or scale factor effects are caused by changes in the index of refraction of the laser medium by dispersion effects of the laser gas. These effects degrade the stability and reproducibility of the RLG [ring laser gyro] scale factor, which is the relationship between the rotation rate(input) and beat frequency(output). 1, record 12, English, - index%20of%20refraction%20of%20the%20laser%20medium

Interactions laser-plasma dans le domaine relativiste [...] le comportement relativiste des électrons du plasma peut provoquer un phénomène très appréciable, car il permet d'accroître considérablement l'éclairement au foyer du laser; il s'agit de l'autofocalisation relativiste. Ce phénomène s'accompagne également du guidage du faisceau laser dans le plasma. L'autofocalisation du laser résulte d'une modification locale de l'indice de réfraction du milieu, induite par une augmentation de la masse des électrons libres du plasma. Dans ces conditions, le plasma se comporte comme une lentille convergente additionnelle qui s'oppose à la divergence naturelle du faisceau et produit une succession de «super foyers» où l'éclairement laser est encore accru d'un ordre de grandeur. 1, record 12, French, - indice%20de%20r%C3%A9fraction%20du%20milieu

The laser gyro need not be mechanically dithered. The same result may be achieved by optical devices. A Faraday cell is a piece of crystal, which changes the phase of a light wave traveling through it as a function of an applied magnetic field. The effect is nonreciprocal. A light beam traveling in one direction is advanced in phase, while a light beam traveling in the other direction is retarded in phase. Reversing the magnetic field reverses the effect. Changing the phase of the light beam has the same effect on frequency as changing the path length. This scheme eliminates the vibration problem, but retains the random walk angular position error. 1, record 13, English, - random%20walk%20angular%20position%20error

Gyrolaser [...] Le blocage de fréquence immobilise l'onde stationnaire; il résulte d'une interaction (transfert d'énergie thermique) entre les 2 ondes lumineuses : c'est la conséquence de minimes imperfections des miroirs du gyroscope qui diffusent une faible partie de la lumière incidente en sens opposé à la trajectoire initiale. («cheminement aléatoire» = random walk) On ajoute un vibreur qui garde la cavité en mouvement; la vibration des miroirs permet d'éliminer ce seuil. 2, record 13, French, - erreur%20de%20position%20angulaire%20due%20au%20cheminement%20al%C3%A9atoire
