Abstract
Systems and methods for starting and operating an electrodeless RF discharge ring laser gyro. In one example, an electrodeless RF discharge ring laser gyro system includes a ring laser gyro, a starting circuit, an RF power source, and a controller. The starting circuit is electrically connected to the ring laser gyro. The starting circuit applies an electrial pulse to the ring laser gyro. The RF power source is electrically connected to the ring laser gyro. The RF power source applies an operating power to the ring laser gyro. The controller is electrically connected to the RF power source and the starting circuit. The controller controls operation of the starting circuit and the RF power source.
