title: Influence of wave-front-conjugated coupling on the operation of a laser gyro.
abstract: We present a theoretical analysis of a ring laser incorporating a wave-front-conjugating coupling element between the counterpropagating waves. Our results demonstrate the possibility both of using a homogeneously broadened laser, such as a solid-state or dye laser, and of a substantial reduction in lock-in frequency.
