Abstract:
An optical sensor includes an optical device including a microresonator, laid out to guide a light beam along a closed loop optical path, and an injection and/or extraction waveguide, optically coupled to the microresonator; a photodetector, arranged at the output of the injection and/or extraction waveguide; and an analysis device, receiving a signal supplied by the photodetector, and deducing therefrom information relative to a displacement. The microresonator is constituted of a plurality of elementary waveguides spaced apart from each other, and arranged one after the other according to a loop shaped layout. The optical sensor offers increased sensitivity to the measurement of nanometric displacements.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical sensor comprising:\n an optical device comprising a waveguide microresonator, laid out to guide a light beam along a closed loop optical path, and an injection and extraction waveguide, or an injection waveguide and an extraction waveguide, optically coupled to the microresonator for the injection and the extraction of said light beam; a photodetector, arranged at the output of the injection and extraction waveguide, respectively at the output of the extraction waveguide; and an analysis device, receiving at the input a signal supplied by the photodetector, configured to compare said signal with reference data, and to deduce therefrom information relative to a displacement within the optical device; wherein the microresonator is constituted of a plurality of elementary waveguides spaced apart from each other, and arranged one after the other according to a loop shaped layout.
