Large frame ring laser gyroscopes are top sensitivity inertial sensors able to measure absolute angular rotation rate below $rm mathbf{prad/s}$ in few seconds. The development of ring laser based on a simple mechanical structure, usually called hetero lithic structure, requires to control the geometry of the apparatus. Our prototype GP2 is a middle size ring laser, whose main purpose is the geometry control with opto-mechanical means. The first tests have been performed, and the data analysed. The lengths of the diagonals of the ring cavity have been measured with $pmb{mu {rm m}}$ accuracy, and continuous operation has been obtained, without loss of sensitivity. GP2 is located in a standard laboratory, with a temperature stabilisation around 1 degree Celsius. The analysis shows that middle size ring lasers can obtain nrad/s sensitivity also in a standard environment.

We report on the measurements of tilt noise performed at the Virgo site with a ring laser gyroscope. The apparatus is a He-Ne laser operating in a square cavity mounted on a vertical plane perpendicular to the north-south arm of the inteferometer. We
discuss the possibility of using the ring laser signal to improve the performances of the control system of the Virgo seismic suspensions. The comparison between the ring laser signal and the control signals for the longitudinal translations of the inverted pendulum (IP) shows remarkable coherence in the frequency range 20-200 mHz.
We present a fully active-controlled He-Ne ring laser gyroscope, operating in square cavity 1.35 m in side. The apparatus is designed to provide a very low mechanical and thermal drift of the ring cavity geometry and is conceived to be operative in t
wo different orientations of the laser plane, in order to detect rotations around the vertical or the horizontal direction. Since June 2010 the system is active inside the Virgo interferometer central area with the aim of performing high sensitivity measurements of environmental rotational noise. So far, continuous not attempted operation of the gyroscope has been longer than 30 days. The main characteristics of the laser, the active remote-controlled stabilization systems and the data acquisition techniques are presented. An off-line data processing, supported by a simple model of the sensor, is shown to improve the effective long term stability. A rotational sensitivity at the level of ten nanoradiants per squareroot of Hz below 1 Hz, very close to the required specification for the improvement of the Virgo suspension control system, is demonstrated for the configuration where the laser plane is horizontal.
GINGERino is a large frame laser gyroscope investigating the ground motion in the most inner part of the underground international laboratory of the Gran Sasso, in central Italy. It consists of a square ring laser with a $3.6$ m side. Several days of
continuous measurements have been collected, with the apparatus running unattended. The power spectral density in the seismic bandwidth is at the level of $10^{-10} rm{(rad/s)/sqrt{Hz}}$. A maximum resolution of $30,rm{prad/s}$ is obtained with an integration time of few hundred seconds. The ring laser routinely detects seismic rotations induced by both regional earthquakes and teleseisms. A broadband seismic station is installed on the same structure of the gyroscope. First analysis of the correlation between the rotational and the translational signal are presented.
GINGERINO is a square ring-laser prototype, which has been built to investigate the level of noise inside the Gran Sasso underground laboratory. It Is meant for fundamental physics, but it provides suitable data for geophysics and seismology. Since M
ay 2017 it is continuously acquiring data. The analysis of the first $90$ days shows that the duty cycle is higher than $95%$, and the quantum shot noise limit is of the order of $ 10^{-10}(mathrm{rad}/s)/sqrt{mathrm{Hz}}$. It is located in a seismically active area, and it recorded part of the of central Italy earthquakes. Its high sensitivity in the frequency band of fraction of Hz makes it suitable for seismology studies. The main purpose of the present analysis is to investigate the long term response of the apparatus. Simple and fast routines to eliminate the disturbances coming from the laser have been developed. The Allan deviation of the raw data reaches $10^{-7}$ after about $10^6s$ of integration time, while the processed data shows an improvement of one order of magnitude. Disturbances at the daily time scale are present in the processed data and the expected signal induced by polar motion and solid Earth tide is covered by those disturbances.
We present the experimental test of a method for controlling the absolute length of the diagonals of square ring laser gyroscopes. The purpose is to actively stabilize the ring cavity geometry and to enhance the rotation sensor stability in order to
reach the requirements for the detection of the relativistic Lense-Thirring effect with a ground-based array of optical gyroscopes. The test apparatus consists of two optical cavities 1.32 m in length, reproducing the features of the ring cavity diagonal resonators of large frame He-Ne ring laser gyroscopes. The proposed measurement technique is based on the use of a single diode laser, injection locked to a frequency stabilized He-Ne/Iodine frequency standard, and a single electro-optic modulator. The laser is modulated with a combination of three frequencies allowing to lock the two cavities to the same resonance frequency and, at the same time, to determine the cavity Free Spectral Range (FSR). We obtain a stable lock of the two cavities to the same optical frequency reference, providing a length stabilization at the level of 1 part in $10^{11}$, and the determination of the two FSRs with a relative precision of 0.2 ppm. This is equivalent to an error of 500 nm on the absolute length difference between the two cavities.
