Methods and apparatus are provided for stabilizing laser light sources of a resonator gyro. A resonator gyro comprises a first light source (12) configured to produce a first input light, a second light source (14) configured to produce a second input light, a resonator (25) coupled to the first and second light sources, a resonance detection circuit coupled to the resonator, and a controller (35, 36) coupled to the resonance detection circuit and the first and second light sources. The resonance detection circuit detects a resonance frequency for each of the counter-propagating directions of the resonator. The controller tunes the first input light to a clockwise resonance frequency, and tunes the second input light to a counterclockwise resonance frequency that is at least one longitudinal resonance mode away from the clockwise resonance frequency. A difference between the resonance frequencies is proportional to a rotational rate of the resonator gyro. |
