    Abstract: A very high temperature microbeam sensor of a resonant integrated microstructure having an electrostatic beam driver and an optical fiber pick-up for sensed light from the beam. The high temperature sensor has no components that are vulnerable to temperatures up to 600 degrees C. Associated components for detection, processing and driving are remote from the sensor environment. By using different materials in the beam assembly, such as tungsten for the beam, and sapphire for the substrate and the shell, the sensor can withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees C. Also, optical fiber may be used for long distance connections between processing electronics and the driver in the sensing device, by locating a photo detector just outside the very or ultra high temperature sensing environment, and then using optical fiber for sending long distance signals from the processor to the driver photo detector, for eliminating electrical signal-to-noise problems.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for testing an electromechanical systems (EMS) device. In one aspect, a laser is directed at a driven EMS device, and the reflected light pattern is analyzed to provide information regarding the characteristics of the driven EMS device. In some aspects, the reflected light pattern is analyzed to determine a resonant frequency of the EMS device or the damping forces acting on the EMS device. The resonant frequency can then be used to determine stresses within the EMS device, or pressure or temperature within a device package encapsulating the EMS device.

    Abstract: In a stress measuring, system sensor driving power and a signal sensed by a sensor are transmitted and received in the form of a light pulse signal to thereby improve a noise resistant property as well as a measuring accuracy and reliability. The stress measuring system includes a sensor head disposed at a sensing location and a measuring device disposed at a location remote from the sensing location. The sensor head includes a sensor having a sensing section for sensing a change in stress as a change in the natural frequency of an oscillation string, an output section for outputting a light pulse sensing signal corresponding to the natural frequency sensed by the sensing section and a driving section for causing oscillation at the natural frequency of the oscillation system of the sensing section in response to a driving light pulse signal. The measuring device includes a measuring section for measuring the stress based on the frequency of the light pulse sensing signal and a creating section for creating the driving light pulse signal having the frequency following a change in the natural frequency based on the light pulse sensing signal. The sensor head is connected to the measuring device through optical fibers for transmitting at least the light pulse sensing signal and the driving light pulse signal.
