Ellipticity measurement system with double beam paths for ring laser gyroscope
On the basis of the requirements of cavity adjustment completed by measurement ellipticity
an ellipticity measurement system with double beam paths was researched for adjusting the cavity of a ring gyro laser. The frequency response characteristics of a square ring resonator to the S line polarized light and P line polarized light were analyzed
and the S line polarized light was chosen to stabilize the frequency of a positive resonant cavity. By inputting the S polarized beam to improve the frequency stability accurately
a frequency stabilization system and a ellipticity measurement system with double beam paths were established. By utilizing the new frequency-stabilization system and measurement methods
the frequency stabilization of the system can be realized in 10 s and the stabilization accuracy is better than 1.8%. Furthermore
the fluctuation of ellipticity has been 0.65% by the proposed method
which reduces the effect of light fluctuation on the measurement accuracy. In conclusion
the proposed system meets the needs of ellipticity measurement.
