Flexure measurement of ring laser gyro was investigated by using an interferometer. A two-beam interferometer of Fiezo-fringe pattern obtained the flexure angle in 1-gravity acceleration and the higher acceleration environments. These environments were made with the addition of dummy mass to the ring laser gyro axis. The flexure angle change for 1-gravity acceleration change was measured as 2.37 arcsec/g with low repeatability error of 0.01 arcsec/g. The laser navigation system consisting of 3 flexure-reduced ring laser gyros showed the improvement of flexure error.

The gyroscope is the sensor for detecting the rotation in inertial reference frame and constitute the navigation system together an accelerometer. As the inertial reference equipment for attitude determination and control in the satellite, the mechanical gyroscope has been used but it bring the disturbance for mass unbalance so the disturbance give a bad influence to the observation satellite mission because the mechanical gyroscope has the rotation parts. During the launch. The mechanical gyroscope is weak in vibration, shock and has the defect of narrow operating temperature range so it need the special design in integration. Recently the low orbit observation satellite for seeking the high pointing accuracy of image camera payload accept the FOG(Fiber Optic Gyro) or RLG(Ring Laser Gyro) for the attitude determination and control. The Ring Laser Gyro makes use of the Sanac effect within a resonant ring cavity of a He-Ne laser and has more accuracy than the other gyros. It need the 1000V DC to create the He-Ne plasma in discharge tube. In this paper, the design process of the High Voltage Power Supply for RLG(Ring Laser Gyroscope) is described. The specification for High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS) is proposed. Also, The analysis of flyback converter topology is explained. The Design for the HVPS is composed of the inverter circuit, feedback control circuit, high frequency switching transformer design and voltage doubler circuit.

For the improvement of minimum sensing angular velocity of ring laser gyro, the influence of a low-scattering mirror application to laser resonator was investigated. Super polishing technique was employed for the fine mirror substrates of less than 1-${\AA}$-rms roughness. Mirror coating using ion-beam sputtering coating machine produced low-scattering mirror less than 30-ppm scattering. As a result of the mirror application to ring laser, the minimum sensing angular velocity of the gyro was improved down to about 0.1 deg/sec.

It is required for getting the ring laser gyro output purely related to the input rotation to eliminate the output of the modulated angular vibration from the ring laser signal. In this paper we discuss the dither stripping methods of compensating the ring laser signal by converting the rate signal of dither detector from voltage to frequency for a dither type ring laser gyro. We discuss the differential methods for getting rid of the offset of the V-F signal. And we develope the methods of compensating the phase differences between the ring laser signals and the V-F differential signals by using analog integrator and digital time delays. And also, we develope the gain calculation method by comparing the standard deviations of the ring laser signals with V-F differential signals. We implemented these methods and analyzed the effectiveness of these methods by comparing the dither trapping methods.

The inertial sensor errors in SDINS(Strapdown Inertial Navigation System) can be compensated by rotating the inertial measurement unit and it is called RINS(Rotational Inertial Navigation System). It is assumed that the error of the inertial sensor in RINS is a static bias. However, the error of the inertial sensor actually developed and produced is not a static bias due to the change of the temperature applied to the sensor and the influence of the earth's gravity acceleration. In this paper, we propose a six-position gyro bias calibration method to evaluate the gyro bias required for RINS and present the test results of applying it to a ring laser gyro inertial navigation system under development.
