Ring lasers are commonly used as gyroscopes for aircraft navigation
and attitude control. The largest ring lasers are sensitive enough
that they can be used for high resolution inertial rotation sensing
of the Earth in order to detect tiny perturbations to the Earth's
rotation caused by earthquakes or global mass transport. This book
describes the latest advances in the development of large ring
lasers for applications in geodesy and geophysics using the most
sensitive and stable devices available. Chapters cover our current
knowledge of the physics of the laser gyroscope, how to acquire and
analyse data from ring lasers, and what the potential applications
are in the geosciences. It is a valuable reference for those
working with ring lasers or using the data for applications in
geodesy and geophysics; as well as researchers in laser physics,
photonics and navigation.
