Abstract:
An optomechanical device comprising a circuit configured to generate an optical signal using a tuning signal and modulate the optical signal at a frequency corresponding to one quarter of a Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of an optical resonance of the proof mass assembly to generate a partially modulated optical signal. The circuit being further configured to filter the partially modulated optical signal to remove a central carrier from the partially modulated optical signal to generate a filtered optical signal, modulate the filtered optical signal to generate a modulated optical signal driven to the mechanical resonance of the proof mass assembly, and generate the tuning signal using a difference between a DC intensity level of a first optical frequency component in the modulated optical signal and a DC intensity level of a second optical frequency component in the modulated optical signal.
