Breaking the Lock-in Limit with Chiral Laser Gyroscopes
Chiral laser gyroscopes are poised to solve the “lock-in” effect that has limited inertial navigation precision for decades. By exploiting spontaneous mirror-symmetry breaking within optical resonators, researchers have developed a mechanism to bypass the backscattering interference that historically plagued ring laser gyroscopes. According to recent findings published in Nature Photonics, these advancements allow for rotation … Read more
