A characterization of Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLGs) was performed at INFN-Pisa, and optimization is ongoing for a kind of very high sensitivity and accuracy rotation measurement device. Data quality is monitored through fringe contrast, such quantity is factorized, as it depends on single light beam...
