Abstract
A path length control (PLC) driver of a ring laser gyroscope includes a first piezoelectric assembly including a first piezoelectric element, a second piezoelectric element, and a first electrode. The PLC driver further includes a second piezoelectric assembly including a third piezoelectric element, a fourth piezoelectric element, and a second electrode. The PLC driver further includes a baseplate positioned between the first piezoelectric assembly and the second piezoelectric assembly, including a pin extending through the first piezoelectric assembly. The PLC driver further includes a flexible coupling assembly that electrically couples the first electrode to a first wire harness connection point, the second electrode to a second wire harness connection point, and the pin to a third wire harness connection point. The flexible coupling assembly is bonded to a negative polarity side of the first piezoelectric element by a semi-rigid conductive adhesive.
