Abstract

A new micro-optical vibration sensor has been achieved by combining "integrated optics" and "micromachining" on silicon technologies. The high sensitivity and the wide frequency range have been obtained by using a multimode section in the optical detection circuit. Three prototypes have been installed successfully in an industrial hydroelectric power plant.
