About this ebook
The book presents the detailed study of optoelectronic gyroscopes, especially Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLGs) and Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (FOGs). It discusses their design in detail to optimize their performance, besides explaining the related concepts and the new developments. Other topics covered in this book are double ion beam sputtering for fabricating RLG mirrors on the high quality optical substrates, optical testing, and thin films characterization techniques. The book will be useful for the researchers, professionals, and engineers working in the areas of optical gyroscopes and the related technologies.

Dr Kamal Nain Chopra has done B.Sc. (University of Delhi), M.Sc. (Physics - IIT, Delhi), M.Tech. (Opto-Electronics - IIT, Delhi), and Ph.D. (Applied Physics - IIT, Delhi). He has served DRDO for a period of 33 years and superannuated as Scientist G, from Laser Science and Technology Centre (LASTEC), Delhi, in the year 2005. Subsequently, he has also served as Professor (Physics) in NSIT (DU) and MAIT(GGSIPU), and as Project Scientist in IIT, Delhi, in various projects, on topics including photonics, thin films, and optical testing. He has about 390 publications including about 300 in International journals (UK, USA, France, Germany, Italy, Netherland, and China) on various topics including thin films optics, lasers and laser components, holography, and modern optics; 12 invited talks; 15 technical reports; and 30 papers in International Conference Proceedings (published by Taylor and Francis, UK; and Scientific Net, Switzerland). Dr Kamal Nain Chopra has co-authored a monograph titled, “Thin Films and their Applications in Military and Civil Sectors”, DESIDOC, DRDO, Ministry of Defence, INDIA, 2010. He has authored a monograph titled, “Unconventional Lasers: Design and Technical Analysis”, DESIDOC, DRDO, Ministry of Defence, INDIA, 2017. He has also authored a book titled, “Conventional and Unconventional Sources of Renewable Energy: Renewable Energy Sources”, Lambert Academic Publishing, Germany, 2017. In addition, he has authored a monograph titled, “Spintronics Theoretical Analysis and Designing of Devices Based on Giant Magnetoresistance”, DESIDOC, DRDO, Ministry of Defence, INDIA, 2019. He has undertaken visits to foreign universities and industries including (i) School of Thin Film Coatings, Department of Physics, St. Jerome University, Marseille, FRANCE [5 months (1984-85)]; (ii) Department of Physics, Innsbruck University, Innsbruck, AUSTRIA , including 5 days in M/s. Balzers, Liechtenstein, SWITZERLAND [10 days (1995)]; and (iii) M/s. Elettrorava, Torino, ITALY [15 days (2000)]. He has vast experience of serving the recruitment and assessment boards of DRDO (RAC and CEPTAM), as Chairman as well as Expert Board Member. He is a reviewer and editorial board member for some leading international journals. His fields of specialisation are opto-electronis, unconventional lasers, optical gyroscopes, thin films designing, fabrication, and characterisation by modern techniques, and specialized optical testing techniques.
