Abstract

A ring laser gyro system having at least one fixed mirror, and two movable mirror assemblies, for causing a pair of laser beams to counter-rotate therebetween, including amplitude control circuits and a phase control circuit for causing the movable mirror assemblies to sinusoidally oscillate at the same amplitude and frequency, but 180.degree. out of a phase with one-another, to substantially eliminate lock-in.
