Abstract
A dithered ring laser particularly adapted for use as a gyro wherein backscatter from the mirrors is minimized by servoing the mirror inward and outward positions so that the sum of the AM amplitudes of the envelopes of the counterpropagating waves is reduced to a minimum value, then further servoing the mirrors to reduce the difference between such AM amplitudes.
