Abstract
The Ring Laser Gyro makes use of the Sagnac effect within a resonant ring cavity of A He-Ne laser and has more accuracy than the other Gyros. The Low Earth Orbit satellite for observatory use require the high accuracy Gyro to control and determine the altitude because of the need of payload pointing accuracy. In this paper, The theory of the Path Length Control is explained. The electrical design of Path Length Controller is described. The Design for Path Length Controller is composed of the demodulator, Integrator, Phase shifter, High Voltage Amplifier. We apply the circuit to 28cm square ring laser gyro and get the test results.
