Ring Laser Gyroscope Market Driven by Rising Demand for Navigation Systems

A gyroscope is a device used for maintaining and measuring angular velocity and orientation of aircrafts or submarines. Ring laser gyroscope consists of ring lasers that has two independent opposite-propagating resonant modes over the identical path. The difference in their frequencies is used to identify rotation and it operates on the principle of the effect known as Sagnac interference. The ring laser gyroscope is used as the stable component in an inertial guidance system and is mainly used in navigational applications. Inertial guidance system is an electronic system that is used to continuously monitor the velocity, acceleration, and position of a vehicle, usually of an airplane, submarine, or a missile. It provides control and navigational data without the need for communicating with the base station.

The basic components of an inertial guidance system are computers, gyroscopes, and accelerometers. Ring laser gyroscopes provide turning rate measurements or fixed reference directions, and accelerometers are used to measure variations in the velocity of the system. The primary advantage of using a ring laser gyroscope is that there are no moving parts as compared to the conventional spinning gyroscopes. So there is no friction, which means there would be no inherent drift. Furthermore, the entire unit of the ring laser gyroscope is lightweight, compact, and virtually indestructible, due to which it can be used in aircrafts.
A ring laser gyroscope can be used to measure any rotation around its sensitive axis that implies orientation in inertial space will be known almost at all times. In 1963, Macek and Davis had first demonstrated the experimental ring laser gyroscope. Further, various organizations around the world later developed ring-laser technology. There are about tens of thousands of ring laser gyroscopes operating in  inertial navigation systems, providing higher accuracy. The basic set up of a ring laser gyroscope includes mirror, beam sampling, and laser excitation. The materials used for making ring laser gyroscopes includes quartz optical materials, microcrystalline, BK7, and others.
