In this paper, an optomechanical torsion sensor using a microfiber mechanical resonator is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The torsion angle is determined by monitoring the resonant frequency shifts of the microfiber resonator. The results show that the resonant frequency shift is non-linear to the torsion angle, with the fundamental mode being more sensitive than higher modes. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity and resolution, making it a promising candidate for practical engineering applications.
In this paper, we propose and demonstrate experimentally an optomechanical torsion sensor using a microfiber mechanical resonator. The torsion angle could be obtained by monitoring the resonant frequency shifts of the microfiber resonator. Theoretical and experimental results show that the shift of resonant frequency is non-linear to the torsion angle, and the fundamental mode is more sensitive than other higher modes. The highest sensitivity of the sensor tested in our experiments is 1,687 Hz/degree, and the corresponding resolution of torsion angle is up to 0.0006 '', which is 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of the reported fiber-optic torsion sensors. The proposed sensor is a promising candidate for the practical engineering applications.
