title = "Aspects of ring lasers as local earth rotation sensors",
abstract = "Ring laser rotation sensors are best known from inertial navigation, where they have many advantages over mechanical gyroscopes. They have recently been greatly improved, and show potential as fully independent length-of-day sensors. We discuss some important aspects of current limitations in their performance. In particular we demonstrate a novel scheme for the stabilisation of a large ring laser against frequency pulling effects induced by backscatter.",
