<p>Disclosed is a ring laser angular rate sensor constructed from a solid block with mirror assemblies joined to the block with a thermally formed gas tight seal. The mirror assemblies include a coating of alternating layers of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) which have been ion beam sputtered on mirror substrates composed of a material which suitably matches the thermal coefficient of the laser block.</p> |
