Abstract

In the present application, a discriminant apparatus for a ring laser angular rate sensor is described which provides a discriminant signal indicative of the lock-in rate of the sensor derived from the phase difference between the counter-propagating waves therein. The discriminant signal may be employed in a closed-loop control signal system for altering the coupling of energy between the counter-propagating waves in a ring laser angular rate sensor for controlling the value of the lock-in rate to a minimum rate.
