IPC: H04R23/00
Filed: 2020-07-31
Abstract: An in-plane displacement sensing unit based on a simplified optical nanometer cale resonant cavity comprising: a laser source 1, an opto- isolator 2, a movable sub-wavelength silicon grating 10, a sub-wavelength silver membrane coated on the grating, a sub-wavelength silver membrane 9 coated on the silicon substrate 12, an air gap 13, a silicon substrate and a beam splitter 3; this invention utilizes the resonance enhancement of the near-field cavity, realizing the ultra-high sensitivity of the output light intensity versus the in-plane displacement of the movable grating by designing the structural parameters and relative position of the grating-pair. This invention replaces the grating-pair of a normal optical resonant cavity by two sliver membranes (9 and 11), so that the sensing unit can be fabricated through a Silicon-On-Isolator wafer, which brings immerse simplification to the fabrication process. Optimized structural parameters enable a higher sensitivity of the sensing unit compared with the conventional cavity-based schemes. Therefore, this invention can achieve the in-plane displacement measurement with high integration, reliability and precision.
