Abstract

A pair of flexure plates having an outer toroidal rim extended from a hub by a plurality of radial springs are utilized to rigidly sandwich a laser block. A housing having an aperture for receiving the sandwiched assembly is welded to the outer toroidal rims to provide a dither suspension mechanism for a ring laser angular rate sensor.
