    摘要: A measuring apparatus comprises a sensor having a vibrating beam whose resonant frequency represents a parameter, such as pressure, to be measured. A light guide supplies light from a source to the beam and returns light reflected from the beam and from the end of the guide to an interferometer. The difference in light paths is greater than the coherent length of the light. The interferometer has first and second paths which differ in length by the difference in the light paths plus an odd number of quarter wavelengths of the light.

    摘要: A vibrating sensor comprises an elongated element arranged to vibrate at a frequency dependent upon an external stress applied to the sensor, and an optical fiber for coupling light into an end of the element to excite it into vibration. A light-absorbing layer is provided on a longitudinal surface of the element such that the element will change its configuration, e.g. by bending, as the layer absorbs light and heats that side of the element, this alteration in configuration causing a reduction of radiation which is absorbed so that the element restores. The element may define a Fabry-Perot interferometer between its opposite ends.

    摘要: In pressure sensor systems based upon a micromachined silicon pressure sensor comprising a resonantly vibratable beam supported on a diaphragm, the beam is excited into resonant vibration by directing an optical excitation signal at the beam resonant frequency, via an optical fibre 26, onto a part of the sensor other than the beam, preferably the diaphragm. To detect the vibrations, the underside of the beam 16 and the adjacent upper surface of the diaphragm 18 are together arranged to define a Fabry-Perot cavity, and a continuous optical detection signal is directed at this cavity, also via the optical fibre 26. The optical detection signal is thus modulated at the vibration frequency of the beam 16 by the cavity, and the modulated signal is reflected back into the optical fibre 26.

    摘要: A vibratory transducer comprising a vibratory beam composed of an n-type layer and having at least one end fixed. The vibratory beam is formed by selectively etching an n-type layer formed by adding impurities locally to a single silicon crystal. The vibratory transducer also comprises means for vibrating the vibratory beam and means for detecting vibration of the vibratory beam. The vibratory transducer measures pressure, temperature, density, etc, by detecting change in the resonant frequency of the vibratory beam. The vibratory beam can be finely etched irrespective of the density of the impurities therein by forming the vibratory beam in an alkaline aqueous solution while applying a negative DC or pulsed voltage to a p-type layer and a positive DC or pulsed voltage to an n-type layer. The vibrating and detecting means for the vibratory beam can be easily provided by making a diode and a transistor including the vibratory beam in the transducer.

    摘要: A sensor comprises a beam, e.g. of silicon, which resonates at a frequency dependent on the force imposed on the beam. Light on a line induces resonance of the beam by means of the photothermal effect. The light reflected from the beam is amplitude modulated at the resonance frequency, and returns along the line. It is reflected by a semi-reflecting plane mirror onto a lens which focusses it onto a photodetector. The photodetector produces an output voltage modulated at the oscillation frequency, and is thus representative of the force imposed on beam 1.
