Among different approaches of coherent combining the most significant ones are methods based on active parameters control of each laser in the system. The control is usually conducted with distributed adaptive optical systems. In most practical cases it is an adaptive system of aperture sensing which is based on optimization (maximization) of image sharpness function. The alternative system is the one with reference beam and wave front sensor (WFS) based on holographic and heterodyne principles. However, such systems are more difficult to construct. It is also impossible to use traditional adaptive optics wave front sensors in this multi-aperture system, because its work is based on the principle of building a continuous chart of phase aberrations.","PeriodicalId":191027,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference Laser Optics","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126366326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is mostly because of a variable contribution of backscatter coupling between the two counter-propagating laser beams inside the square ring laser cavity. Introducing an atmospheric pressure stabilizing vessel around the ring laser structure allows us to compensate variations in the compression of the ring laser body by ambient pressure changes. Adding an interferometric feedback system takes this approach one step further in that it allows us to stabilize the length of the cavity to be stable to within 1 kHz of optical frequency. However it transpires that this precision cavity control is not sufficient to keep the backscatter coupling sufficiently constant to reduce the variation of the offset bias of the gyroscope to values of 10 μHz or below. A tightly controlled perimeter does not preclude small variations of the 4 individual sides of the gyroscope. In the absence of sufficient control over the backscatter process or sufficiently precise numerical estimate of the backscatter variation, a tight control of the length of the four individual arms of the gyroscope, in addition to the precision perimeter control appears to be a viable experimental approach. Monitoring the phase relationship between the ring laser beat note, taken at different corners of the gyroscope, provides the necessary access to the desired cavity control. This paper reports the first results of this investigation.","PeriodicalId":191027,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference Laser Optics","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131453727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
