We present a theoretical analysis of the effect of noise color on the mean beat frequency of a ring‐laser gyroscope based on the matrix continued‐fraction technique. The results are compared to measurements made on an electronic circuit model, and to digital simulations.

Colored noise in the ring‐laser gyroscope: Theory and simulation

Reduced lock-in region in a ring laser by noise perturbation

Effect of noise perturbation on parametric resonance in a ring laser

Analyses of spontaneous fluctuations in a ring laser were made in several papers as described in detail in [i, 2]. In the theory of limiting accuracy of the laser gyro there are two qualitatively different approaches leading to different dependence of the mean square error o on the averaging time T. The semi-classical theory of ring lasers was used in [3] to apply the phase diffusion model and obtain the expression
