Abstract :
An audio frequency proportional to the rotation rate of a re-entrant laser-cavity or -ring system has been derived from a single output beam of such a system. Experiments were carried out with a He-Ne laser at 6328Ã…. The output-signal amplitude falls rapidly with increasing audio frequency. The locking frequency is lower than that for conventional dual-beam arrangements.
