Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009077314A1] The invention relates to a "multi-oscillating" gyrolaser for measuring the angular speed or the relative angular position about a rotation axis, that comprises at least one annular optical cavity (1) and a solid-state amplifying medium (2) as well as a measuring device (6) arranged so that a first linear-polarisation propagation mode and a second linear-polarisation propagation mode perpendicular to the first mode can propagate in a first direction in the cavity, and so that a third linear-polarisation propagation mode parallel to the first mode and a fourth linear-polarisation propagation mode parallel to the second mode can propagate in the reverse direction in the cavity. The amplification medium is a cubic-symmetry crystal having an inlet face and an outlet face, said faces being substantially perpendicular to the crystallographic direction, and the different modes propagating in directions substantially perpendicular to said faces.
