Ring laser gyro... The mechanical structure integrity of the gyro is based on a 1.2 X1.2 meter block of zerodur. The zerodur is a glass ceramic material with a thickness of 180 mm weighing approximately 600 kg. The block has four 1-meter longitudinal bores provided for the laser beam paths. Folding mirrors are mounted at each of the four corners of the block. This forms a closed square resonator in which the laser beams can travel in both directions. The block was produced by Zeiss Glaswerke of Mainz, Germany. At Zeiss the machining process included cutting the gyro body edges in preparation for the mounting of the folding mirrors. The surfaces for the mirror mounting are optically polished allowing the folding mirrors to be attached directly to the zerodur by optical contact rather than by bonding. 3, record 2, English, - gyro%20body

[...] le gyrolaser est un contraignant : parmi les principales contraintes, notons que : la cavité optique doit être de dimension bien ajustée, pour obtenir en sortie une puissance lumineuse suffisante : cela nécessite un asservissement en longueur, l'un des miroirs étant mobile, de position ajustable par piézoélectricité, pour que cet asservissement soit efficace, le socle doit être réalisé en Zérodur, une vitrocéramique de coefficient de dilatation thermique quasiment nul [...] 1, record 2, French, - socle

Pour l’utilisation sur les centrales inertielles, il s’est révélé nécessaire de développer des gyroscopes présentant une dérive pratiquement négligeable. Or la cause principale de cette dérive réside dans les frottements qui s’exercent sur le corps du gyroscope, dont la vitesse de rotation dépasse 20 000 tr/min. 2, record 2, French, - socle

For the case of the erbium-doped fiber-optical amplifier, its high performance has been the major impetus to developing amplified lightwave systems for terrestrial and undersea applications. These amplifiers may also compensate losses in distribution systems such as cable television, and in a variety of optical networks, ranging from local area networks to a national information superhighway. New uses of optical amplifiers that will be discussed include their role in wavelength converters and optical phase conjugators, automatic routing in the switching fabric, and optical regeneration of digital data. 1, record 3, English, - erbium%2Ddoped%20fiber%2Doptical%20amplifier

Présentement, l'INO offre un amplificateur à fibre optique dopée à l'erbium adapté pour des utilisations générales, à faible coût, compact et complet. L'amplificateur comprend la source de tension, tous les composants et leur contrôle, sans oublier les composants optiques dont la diode laser qui sert au pompage, la fibre dopée, le coupleur et l'isolateur. Ce système de base assure plus de 20 db de gain net sur toute la largeur de bande de plus de 40 nm. La puissance de saturation à la sortie est supérieure à 3 dBm pour une puissance de pompage de 20 mW à 980 nm tout en conservant un facteur de bruit inférieur à 4 dB. 5, record 3, French, - amplificateur%20de%20fibre%20dop%C3%A9e%20%C3%A0%20l%26rsquo%3Berbium
