The invention discloses a dimming method of an
external cavity type large
laser gyroscope, which comprises the following steps of: mounting and adjusting an indicating
laser, a first angular cavity, a second angular cavity, a third angular cavity and a
laser gain tube on a platform, so that indicating laser emitted by the indicating laser passes through geometric centers of Brewster windows at two ends of the laser
gain tube; the light sequentially passes through the geometric centers of the reflectors on the first to third angular cavities and is reflected at 90 degrees; a
tail piece and a first reflecting mirror are installed and adjusted, so that
laser oscillation is achieved through an unfilled-corner three-mirror cavity formed by the first piece, the
gain tube, the first corner cavity, the second corner cavity, the third corner cavity and the
tail piece; and after the fourth corner cavity is installed, light path adjustment is carried out, so that a
light beam obtained after the laser emitted from the first piece is reflected by the fourth corner cavity is coaxial with a laser beam emitted from the
tail piece, and a
light beam obtained after the laser emitted from the tail piece is reflected by the fourth corner cavity is coaxial with a laser beam emitted from the first piece. The technical problem that when the gain tube is located in the annular cavity, an annular light path is difficult to adjust and close can be solved.
