The present invention, disclose an endcap comprising: a. a first part being at least partially symmetrical about a main axis, said first part being fused to an optical fiber at a proximal end thereof such that said main axis is alignable with an optical axis of the optical fiber beam; and, b. a second part connecting to said first part at a distal end of said first part, wherein said second part protrudes from said first part, such that said second part forms a protruding bonding area, which is perpendicular to said main axis, for attaching said endcap to a fixture attachment area of a fixture apparatus, said fixture attachment area is perpendicular to said main axis, wherein said endcap is inserted at least partially inside said fixture apparatus, whereby, said endcap keeps said optical fiber beam aligned and minimizes angular diversion from an original alignment.

A vibratory gyroscopic device to determine the rotation rate of an object and method of manufacturing thereof, the device including a plurality of supporting springs arranged in pairs to exhibit bilateral symmetry via each pair (i.e., mirror-image symmetry) relative to each other such that the asymmetries in the characteristics of the ring (e.g., resonant frequency, response to angular velocity), caused by asymmetries in the structure of the ring, are reduced.

The invention provides a method of bonding an optical element within an enclosure, the method comprising providing an optical element within an enclosure having interior walls configured and sized to surround the exterior walls of the optical element with clearance, so as to form a space therebetween; introducing into the space members having a cross-section substantially the same as the cross-section of the space at the locations of the members; filling the space with adhesive which does not adhere to the members, and removing the members, forming air-filled voids which cause the reduction of stress in the optical element when its temperature changes. The invention further provides an optical system to be used in the described method.
