Abstract

The results of an investigations into the effect of filamentous striae with birefringence from 3 to 15 nm/cm in SO-115M glass-ceramic on the manufacturing quality of optical parts for ring lasers and the exact characteristics of laser gyroscopes based on them are presented. It is shown that the presence of striaes with stresses of no more than 15 nm/cm in SO-115M glass-ceramic does not depend on the speed of manufacturing the resonator optical circuit and the quality of its assembly. The presence of striaes in the output mirror additional backscattered of a ring laser may have the destination of lock-in zone. Correct adjustment of the output mirror allows to reduce scattering and reveal the growth of the lock-in zone in laser gyroscope. It is shown that the accuracy of the laser gyroscope improves by the quality mirror substrates, the geometry of the resonator body, and increases the accuracy of scattering inside the resonator.
