On the relation of Thomas rotation and angular velocity of reference frames

In the extensive literature dealing with the relativistic phenomenon of Thomas rotation several methods have been developed for calculating the Thomas rotation angle of a gyroscope along a circular world line. One of the most appealing concepts, introduced in Rindler and Perlick (Gen Rel Grav 22:1067, 1990), is to consider a rotating reference frame co-moving with the gyroscope, and relate the precession of the gyroscope to the angular velocity of the reference frame. A recent paper (Herrera and di Prisco in Found Phys Lett 15:373, 2002), however, applies this principle to three different co-moving rotating reference frames and arrives at three different Thomas rotation angles. The reason for this apparent paradox is that the principle of Rindler and Perlick (Gen Rel Grav 22:1067, 1990) is used for a situation to which it does not apply. In this paper we rigorously examine the theoretical background and limitations of applicability of the principle of Rindler and Perlick (Gen Rel Grav 22:1067, 1990). Along the way we also establish some general properties of rotating reference frames, which may be of independent interest.     

A 1.82 m<Superscript>2</Superscript> ring laser gyroscope for nano-rotational motion sensing

We present a fully active-controlled He–Ne ring laser gyroscope operating in square cavity having a side length of 1.35 m. The apparatus is designed to provide a very low mechanical and thermal drift of the ring cavity geometry and is conceived to be operative in two different orientations of the laser plane, in order to detect rotations around the vertical or the horizontal direction. Since June 2010, the system is active inside the Virgo interferometer central area with the aim of performing high-sensitivity measurements of environmental rotational noise. So far, continuous unattended operation of the gyroscope has been longer than 30 days. The main characteristics of the laser, the active remote-controlled stabilization systems and the data acquisition techniques are presented. An offline data processing, supported by a simple model of the sensor, is shown to improve the effective long-term stability. A rotational sensitivity at the level of \(10^{-8}~\mathrm{rad}/\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}\) below 1 Hz, very close to the required specification for the improvement of the Virgo suspension control system, is demonstrated for the configuration where the laser plane is horizontal.     

Demonstration of displacement–measurement–sensitivity proportional to inverse group index of intra-cavity medium in a ring resonator

We show that an intra-cavity medium with dispersion modifies the sensitivity of the cavity resonance frequency to a change in its length by a factor inversely proportional to the group index, n_g, in the medium. For a positive group index characteristic of the slow-light media, with a very large value of n_g, this effect can help in constructing highly frequency-stable cavities for various potential applications without taking additional measures for mechanical stability. For a negative group index characteristic of the fast-light media, with n_g close to a null value, this implies enhancement in sensitivity to change in cavity length. This enhancement in turn can be employed to increase the sensitivity of a ring laser gyroscope.     

A Stable and Compact Optical Module for Fiber-Optic Gyroscope Application

Abstract

This article introduces a new design for a bi-directional optical sub-assembly for fiber-optic gyroscope applications that integrates a super-luminescent light-emitting diode, a photodiode, a beam splitter, an isolator, a fiber receptacle, and a thermal electric cooler. It is less than 1.5 cm in diameter and 2.5 cm in height. As chip temperature was kept at 30°C under environment temperature of ?35°C, 25°C, and 75°C, the bi-directional optical sub-assembly reached stability at a center wavelength of 1,539 nm and a wavelength shift of 1.5 nm. A 3D simple model with the finite-element method was used to analyze thermal performance.     

Design and performance analysis of a nanogyroscope based on electrostatic actuation and capacitive sensing

In this paper, a vibrating beam gyroscope with high operational frequencies at mode-matched condition is proposed. The model comprises a micro-cantilever with attached tip mass operating in the flextural–flextural mode. The drive mode is actuated via the electrostatic force, and due to the angular rotation of the base about the longitudinal axis. The secondary sub-nanometric vibration is induced in the sense direction which causes a capacitive change in the sense electrodes. The coupled electro-mechanical equation of motion is derived using the extended Hamilton's principle, and it is solved by direct numerical integration method. The gyroscope performance is investigated through the simulation results, where the device dynamic response, rate sensitivity, resolution, bandwidth, dynamic range, g$g$ sensitivity and shock resistance are studied. The obtained results show that the proposed device may have better performance compared to commercial micro electromechanical gyroscope characteristics.

Inertial Frame Dragging in an Acoustic Analogue Spacetime

We report an incipient exploration of the Lense‐Thirring precession effect in a rotating acoustic analogue black hole spacetime. An exact formula is deduced for the precession frequency of a gyroscope due to inertial frame dragging, close to the ergosphere of a ‘Draining Bathtub’ acoustic spacetime which has been studied extensively for acoustic Hawking radiation of phonons and also for ‘superresonance’. The formula is verified by embedding the two dimensional spatial (acoustic) geometry into a three dimensional one where the similarity with standard Lense‐Thirring precession results within a strong gravity framework is well known. Prospects of experimental detection of this new ‘fixed‐metric’ effect in acoustic geometries, are briefly discussed.     

Intercomparison of radiation protection devices in a high-energy stray neutron field. Part III: Instrument response

The European Commission has funded within its 6th Framework Programme a three-year project (2005–2007) called CONRAD, COordinated Network for RAdiation Dosimetry. The organizational framework for this project was provided by the European radiation Dosimetry Group EURADOS. Work Package 6 of CONRAD dealt with “complex mixed radiation fields at workplaces” and in this context it organised a benchmark exercise, which included both measurements and calculations, in a stray radiation field at a high-energy particle accelerator at GSI, Germany. The aim was to intercompare the response of several types of active detectors and passive dosemeters in a well-characterised workplace field. The Monte Carlo simulations of the radiation field and the experimental determination of the neutron spectra with various Bonner Sphere Spectrometers are discussed in Rollet et al. (2008) and in Wiegel et al. (2008). This paper focuses on the intercomparison of the response of the dosemeters in terms of ambient dose equivalent. The paper describes in detail the detectors employed in the experiment, followed by a discussion of the results. A comparison is also made with the H^*(10) values predicted by the Monte Carlo simulations and those measured by the BSS systems.     

Fundamental limitations of sensitivity of whispering gallery mode gyroscopes

We analyze theoretically both the fundamental and the technical quantum limitations of the sensitivity of a passive resonant optical gyroscope based on a high finesse monolithic optical microcavity. We show that the quantum back action associated with the resonantly enhanced optical cross- and self-phase modulation results in the standard quantum limit of the angle random walk of the gyroscope, which reaches approximately 0.2 deg/hr^1/2 for a millimeter scale CaF₂ whispering gallery mode resonator based device.

Noise analysis of solid-core polarization-maintaining photonic interferometer fiber optic gyroscope

We report the prediction of the random walk coefficient of a solid-core single-mode polarization-maintaining photonic interferometer fiber optic gyroscope, a novel sensor that exhibits reduced thermal sensitivity owing to the stable temperature coefficient use of a photonic fiber. The random walk coefficient of the photonic interferometer fiber optic gyroscope is limited by detector thermal noise for detected powers under 1 μW and excess noise above 1 μW. Above this power level, the random walk coefficient is found to be independent of detected power and asymptotically to be 0.0029°/ \(\sqrt h \). This result is verified by the experiment.

Computational Analysis of Chlorophyll Structure and UV-Vis Spectra: A Student Research Project on the Spectroscopy of Natural Complexes

Chlorophyll was extracted from fresh spinach leaves (Spinacia L.) and its absorption spectrum was recorded. Computational methods were used to optimize the geometry and energy of chlorophyll as well as to compute UV-Vis spectra of chlorophylls a and b and to compare them with the spectrum of chlorophyll extract. Chlorophyll bands are well predicted, especially with B3LYP/CIS and TD-B3LYP methods. This research project forms a modern approach to the process of spectroscopy teaching—students can apply quantum-mechanics calculations for understanding of reaction mechanisms with the involvement of biologically active compounds and learn to interpret the absorption spectra of chlorophyll extract obtained by themselves.

RI beam facility project at RIKEN and physics programs

In the Radioactive-Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) project in RIKEN, intense primary beams can be provided at the energies E = 350−400MeV over the whole range of atomic number in the cascade-cyclotron acceleration scheme, for which three cyclotrons, fRC, IRC, and SRC, have been newly constructed. The project proceeds through two phases. In the phase-I program, the superconducting in-flight radioactive-isotope beam separator BigRIPS and the following ZeroDegree spectrometer have been installed as well as the three cyclotrons. In the commissioning, after the successful extraction of a ²³⁸U beam from SRC at E = 345 A MeV in the cascade-acceleration scheme, radioactive-isotope beams were produced and isotope-separated with BigRIPS as designed. The RIBF project is fully capitalized in the phase-II program, in which the construction of several experimental key devices has been proposed. The upgrade of the former fragment separator RIPS is also included there. It allow for a scheme to use intense primary beams at the intermediate energy E = 115 A MeV with RIPS. Remarkably, the produced radioactive-isotope beams at this energy can be spin-polarized taking the advantage of the fragmentation-induced spin orientation phenomena. on behalf of the RIBF project     

Improving Locking Accuracy of Resonant Optical Gyroscope by Laser and Acoustooptic Frequency Shifter Jointed Pound-Drever-Hall Technique

ABSTRACT

A laser and acoustooptic frequency shifter jointed Pound-Drever-Hall technique is designed to lock the resonant optical gyroscope. Utilizing direct digital synthesizer (DDS) technology and temperature control in the driver, the frequency-shift precision of the acoustooptic frequency shifter higher than 1 Hz is obtained. Experiments show that compared with locking by tuning the laser only, the zero-bias stability of the gyroscope is improved. In this locking scheme, there are few additional devices, the tuning of the laser and the acoustooptic frequency shifter share a common Pound-Drever-Hall locking system, and the demodulation and the locking algorithms are simple.
