    Abstract: A sensor interrogation unit in one embodiment includes a control module, a reading module, and a determination module. The control module is configured to control one or more lasers to provide a pulsed signal to at least one sensor. Each period of the pulsed signal has a first component having a first intensity and a second component having a second intensity that is lower than the first intensity. The reading module is configured to receive at least one return signal comprising reflections of the pulsed signal from the at least one sensor, to read one of the first component or the second component, and to provide frequency information based on the read reflections. The determination module is configured to determine at least one resonant frequency of the at least one sensor based on the frequency information.

    Abstract: An accelerometer includes a membrane; a laser source, the laser source producing a laser beam, the laser beam directed at the membrane causing the membrane to vibrate; a transparent cap, the transparent cap disposed between the laser source and the membrane; an antireflecting film disposed on an outer surface of the transparent cap; and a detector sensing a reflected portion of the laser beam, the reflected portion including a modulated intensity. An acceleration signal is based in part on the frequency of the modulated intensity of the reflected portion of the laser beam.
