Laser is widely used in angle measurements. This paper presents several frequently used methods of angle measurement that utilize laser, including:autocollimation angle measurement, angle measurement based on internal-reflection effect, laser interference angle measurement, angle measurement with ring laser and angle measurement with CCD. The principle, actualities, application situation, superiority and defects of each method are discussed.

The main application of a ring laser gyroscope is navigation. It is currently the most widely used device for strapdown inertial navigation systems. However, it is also applicable for high-precision angle metrology systems. This paper discusses the properties of a laser dynamic goniometer (LDG) based on the ring laser gyroscope and designed for the calibration of optical polygons and digital angle converters, and for the measurement of angles between external mirrors (theodolite operating mode). We consider the main sources of uncertainty, such as the ring laser gyro bias due to an external magnetic field and the instability caused by the velocity of rotation along with applicable methods of their compensation. The reversal method providing separation of uncertainties of the LDG and the calibrated angle converter is analyzed in detail. The simplified cross-calibration method is also considered. The results of calibration of optical encoders of various designs—with and without their own rotors (on-axis and off-axis in Euramet terminology)—are presented. Some results of the dynamic goniometer for the measurement of angles between external mirrors are presented. It is shown that the LDG in this mode of operation demonstrates better accuracy than modern theodolites and total stations.

Currently, the continuous rotary north-finder is widely discussed for its outstanding performance. However, few researches on the influence of turntable error to the continuous rotary north-finding algorithm can be found. Turntable errors, such as the stability of rotate speed, the periodic angle measurement error and the discrete angle measurement error, are studied for the north-finder based on rate biased RLG (ring laser gyro). Two north-finding algorithms are designed, which can restrain the influence of angle measurement errors and the stability of rotate speed separately. Finally, simulation and experiments are performed to verify the algorithms.
