Correlated Emission Laser - Towards High Sensitivity Ring Laser Gyroscopes and Wave Detectors

摘要

In addition to this fundamental research in the nature of the noise present in a measurement of phase, and the consequent development of the CEL concept, we have carried out research in a number of related topics. This includes acting as a theoretical support group for (now defunct) large, passive, resonant-ring gyroscope experimental effort which was carried out at F.J. Seiler laboratories at the Air Force Academy. In addition, a preliminary experimental RLG effort has begun at the University of New Mexico under the auspices of this contract. Finally, we studied in a somewhat general manner the quantum distribution functions. Techniques involved in this latter study are very useful in calculations of quantum noise. (Author)
