Results for tag: "Ring Laser Gyroscopes"

Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLG) are a type of sensor used to measure angular velocity. They are based on the Sagnac effect, which is the phenomenon of a rotating frame of reference affecting the propagation of light. RLGs are used in a variety of applications, such as navigation, guidance, and attitude control. They are also used in inertial measurement units (IMUs) for aircraft and spacecraft. RLGs are highly accurate and reliable, and are capable of measuring angular velocity in three axes. They are also relatively small and lightweight, making them suitable for use in a variety of applications. Additionally, they are relatively low-cost compared to other types of sensors. Some companies in the Ring Laser Gyroscopes market include Honeywell, Northrop Grumman, KVH Industries, and Systron Donner Inertial. Show Less Read more
