Abstract
In this paper we dicuss the dither-stripping methods by V-F(voltage to frequency) conversion of the output of angular velocity sensor which is for detecting the dither motion of the ring laser cavity. In this case, it is very important to evaluate the pulse-to-pulse scale factor between the ring lase output pulse and V-F output pulse, and also to compensate the zero offset of the V-F output pulse. In the case of the dither-stripping by the V-F conversion of angular velocity sensor output, there is a big angle uncertainty in the process of compensating the zero offset due to the dither noise for compensating the V-F output. By differential, the phase of the V-F output is changed. So, to compensate it, we change 90deg of the phase of angular velocity sensor output and delay half sampling time of the phase of ring laser output in advance. In this case the pulse-to-pulse scale factor can be evaluated by the standard deviation of each pulse. We can get the good result of the dither-stripping output by this angle differential method.
