Post IRS versus INS

4. RING LASER GYRO (RLG): The ring laser gyro is a triangle shaped device with a silicone body and a gas filled cavity. A cathode and two anodes are used to excite the gas and produce two laser beams travelling in opposite directions. Reflectors in each corner are used to reflect the lasers around the unit's body.

This is something I have recently read on the net. I they referring to IRS. I know IRS deals with lasers and has alot of simularities to INS. Can anyone point me to a good link or give me some more information on INS and IRS?

Thanks in advance
