Abstract
An investigation is made of the geometric phases in a ring laser with counterpropagating waves. It is shown that the frequency splitting of the counterpropagating waves that appears in the case of radiation pul sations or is induced by displacement of an external mirror can be reg arded as a manifestation of a geometric phase.
