TL;DR: In this article, a temperature error compensation method based on polynomial model is proposed to compensate the temperature error of the laser gyro and the quartz flexible accelerometer effectively, and the zero-bias stability of them are both improved.
Abstract: In order to solve the problem that the measurement accuracy of vehicle-mounted laser gyro strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) is affected by the temperature change, a temperature error compensation method which can adapt to the full temperature environment is proposed. Based on the phenomenon that the temperature of the inertial sensor is still rising when the temperature of the temperature control box is kept, a continuous temperature change experiment is designed. Then, Pearson correlation analysis of the output of laser gyro and quartz flexible accelerometer with temperature, temperature rate and temperature gradient has been carried out. Based on that, the temperature error models of gyro and accelerometer are constructed, and the temperature compensation method based on polynomial model is proposed. The results show that this method could compensate the temperature error of the laser gyro and the quartz flexible accelerometer effectively, and the zero-bias stability of them are both improved, especially the zero-bias stability of the accelerometer is improved by at least one order of magnitude, the accuracy of inertial measurement in full temperature environment is improved effectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rotation sensor including one or more ring lasers is designed to utilize a nonlinear Sagnac effect, a passive waveguide arrangement, and a photodetector arrangement to receive the outcoupled light and to detect rotation of the sensor.
Abstract: Method and apparatus embody a rotation sensor including one or more ring lasers designed to utilize a nonlinear Sagnac effect, a passive waveguide arrangement, and a photodetector arrangement to receive the outcoupled light and to detect rotation of the sensor; wherein these components are arranged into a monolithically integrated optoelectronic integrated circuit on a single substrate. The method and apparatus can include seeding a stable, rotation -insensitive, strong (driving) wave using a single-frequency edge emitting laser monolithically integrated on the same substrate.

TL;DR: In this paper, a solidstate ring laser gyro based on a diode-pumped neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystal as the gain medium is presented.
Abstract: We report on the development of a prototype solidstate ring laser gyro based on a diode-pumped neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystal as the gain medium. We describe in this paper how we circumvent mode competition between the counter-propagating modes using a feedback loop acting on the differential losses. We then show how the non-linear frequency response can be significantly improved by vibrating the gain medium along the laser axis, leading to a behavior similar as a typical Helium-Neon ring laser gyro. We finally discuss the undergoing improvements for achieving high inertial performance with this device, with significant potential benefits in terms of cost and robustness as compared to other highperformance gyro technologies.
