Abstract

We have demonstrated a novel solid-state ring laser gyroscope by actively modelocking a pair of InGaAsP diodes in an external ring cavity. We observe no evidence of gain competition or frequency locking between the counterpropagating optical pulse trains circulating in the cavity to within the limit of our experimental resolution.
