Optomechanical Spring Effect Readout in Resonant Micro-Optical Sagnac Gyroscopes: Design And Scaling Analysis
Abstract
We propose and theoretically analyze a new cavity optomechanical oscillator gyroscope. Mechanical frequency acts as a sensitive readout of rotation through the optomechanical spring and Sagnac effects. Remarkably, reducing... [ view full abstract ]
