Whenever you experience hardships, surprises are always unexpected. In 1978, Gao Bolong led the research group to make unremitting efforts and finally successfully developed the first prototype of the laser gyro laboratory principle. This achievement solved a lot of theoretical and technical problems, and laid the foundation for the further development and production of laser gyroscopes. “Run” all the way and finally saw the dawn of success. The successful development of the laboratory principle prototype is undoubtedly a major breakthrough, but it is just a prototype of a simple green laser pointer gyro.
From the principle prototype to the practical stage, it is necessary to solve the coating and its related series of technical and process difficulties. According to the equipment and process level at that time, it is difficult to go through these “goals”. You know, American Light has spent nearly 30 years solving the coating problem. Some people have a feeling of distress: “If we don’t make the craft, we can do it for nothing, it is better to end decently as soon as possible.” Gao Bolong said, “How can there be a return arrow at the bow?
How difficult it is for us to do this today. How can we retreat? No matter how difficult it is, China’s laser gyroscope will also be developed. “Low-loss reflective lenses are the key to determining the performance of laser gyroscopes. At that time, the technological level was backward, and it was easy to break through this difficulty. Batches of diaphragms were processed, and batches of scraps were scrapped. The development work was again in trouble. Gao Bolong He did not shrink back. He resolutely decided to temporarily suspend many years of theoretical research and transfer to green laser pointers full closed-loop process research.
