A ring laser gyroscope incorporates a resonant cavity generally shaped as an irregular pentagon having a portion thereof conformed as three legs of a rectangle closed by two symmetrical other legs to form an apex. As result the enclosed area is increased, increasing sensitivity and decreasing lock-in, while magnetic effects are reduced. Additionally, the irregular shape allows for the extension of the gain medium which therefore increases the effectiveness thereof.
