Abstract: A pressure sensor includes a resonator element (14) mounted on an optical fibre ferrule (11) whereby light signals for maintaining the resonator in a state of oscillation and for returning a modulated signal to a remote station are coupled to the resonator. The resonator is located in an evacuated cavity and is mounted on a flexible diaphragm whereby pressure changes may be detected as changes in the resonant frequency.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A resonator device 10 is disclosed. The resonator device may be used in a transducer or a sensor such as a pressure, force or acceleration sensor. The resonator device comprises a resonator 20 provided on a diaphragm 30. A cap 40 is provided which may be fusion bonded to the diaphragm 30 to enclose the resonator 20 and form a hermetically sealed package 10. The resonator device is excited by applying electromagnetic stimulation, such as infra-red or optical stimulation, which may be from a laser via a fibre 50. The resonator device may be interrogated by applying an electromagnetic signal into the optical cavity formed between the resonator 20 and the inside surface of the cap 40 to derive a frequency change of the resonator. As the resonator device incorporates a hermetically sealed package and is stimulated by electromagnetic radiation, it is robust and able to operate in harsh environments.
