  • Abstract
    A force-sensitive AT-cut quartz disc produced variable-frequency optical modulation with a depth of 8% at the 2 MHz fundamental resonance. The elements of a fibre-optic sensor were demonstrated, including optical powering of the oscillator and optical modulation at the difference frequency between a reference crystal and a sensor crystal.
