Abstract
Disclosed herein is a Digitally Controlled Cavity Length Control System comprising, in a preferred embodiment, an adaptive servo-loop for cavity length, modulation depth and amplitude control, and of the multioscillator ring laser gyroscope; thereby, permitting the simultaneous control of these elements. The cavity length control of the multioscillator, by including a variable RF detector gain, allows the operation of the gyroscope in a slightly detuned fashion to minimize magnetic sensitivity. In this manner, the multioscillator gyroscope may be maintained at a stable operating point suitable for modeling.
