Abstract
Gravity gradiometer including a ring laser cavity, two modulator elements in the path of the laser beam, and spaced masses attached to the modulator elements to provide a differential modulation of circular polarization modes proportional to the difference in gravity at the location of the two masses. In one form, a biasing element is added to shift the operating point of the laser system to improve performance.
