Title: Sensitivity to cross-axis oscillations in a single-axis nuclear gyroscope

Nuclear gyro development efforts are intended to provide a low cost, high reliability alternative to conventional mechanical gyroscopes. Cross-axis rates, oscillating at the Larmor frequency, are presently noted to be able to cause a degradation in the SNR of nuclear magnetic resonance gyros. This effect has been demonstrated for a single-species, unpumped device, and may give rise to related problems in the dual-species, continuously pumped devices as well. 9 references.
