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
lasers, using specific optic devices that eliminate the blind region.In
this way, a "fully optic" solid-state laser is obtained, without moving
parts, stable, and without blind regions.These devices comprise in
particular reciprocal and nonreciprocal optical rotators, arranged so
that two counter-propagating optical modes travel in the cavity at
sufficiently different frequencies to avoid mode locking.
