TLDR
In this paper, the authors report progress towards a high performance solid-state ring laser gyro using a diode-pumped Nd-YAG crystal as the gain medium.Abstract:
We report our progress towards a high performance solid-state ring laser gyro using a diode-pumped Nd-YAG crystal as the gain medium. We then discuss the possibility of including in this device a highly dispersive medium, which could serve for testing the recent proposal by Shariar and coworkers of a fast-light ring laser gyro. This discussion is supported in particular by the recent results obtained at Laboratoire Aime Cotton with electromagnetically induced transparency in metastable heliumread more

Laser gyro at quantum limit
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a certain fundamental limit applies to the accuracy of all optical rotation sensors which use laser light as a probe, and the same relationship is obtained from a spontaneous-emission noise formulation.

Theoretical design of a superluminal helium–neon ring laser via coupled passive cavities
TL;DR: In this article, a helium-neon ring laser cavity was modified by employing variable coupled passive cavities to introduce anomalous dispersion, and a novel iterative method was proposed.

Vacuum Rabi splitting as a feature of linear-dispersion theory: Analysis and experimental observations.
TL;DR: The spectral and temporal response of an optical cavity resonantly coupled to an ensemble of barium atoms has been investigated experimentally and the empty-cavity transmission resonances are found to split in the presence of the atoms and the cavity's temporal response is found to be oscillatory.

Ultrahigh enhancement in absolute and relative rotation sensing using fast and slow light
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a resonator-based optical gyroscope whose sensitivity for measuring absolute rotation is enhanced via use of the anomalous dispersion characteristic of superluminal light propagation.
