Abstract
This invention relates to a laser gyro coupling system which utilizes a pair of resilient rings located between a plate attached to the laser dither suspension mechanism and the lower surface of a ring laser to form a reservoir for a viscous fluid. The coupling system permits the dither suspension mechanism to drive the ring laser at its dither frequency without transmitting stresses to the ring laser due to thermal expansion.
