The invention concerns solid-state gyrolasers used to measure rotation
speeds or relative angular positions. This type of equipment is used, in
particular, in aeronautical applications.The purpose of the invention is
to complete the optic devices required to control the instability of
ring-shaped solid-state lasers using specific optic devices that
eliminate the blind region without adding a measurement bias. In this
way, a "fully optic" solid-state laser is obtained, without moving parts,
stable, and without blind region.These devices comprise in particular
polarization separation optical devices, reciprocal and nonreciprocal
optical rotators arranged so that four linearly polarized optical modes
travel in the cavity at sufficiently different frequencies to avoid mode
locking.
