Abstract

An optomechanical gravimeter includes: a first and second accelerometer; and a spacer member interposed between the first accelerometer and the second accelerometer such that the first accelerometer and the second accelerometer independently include: a basal member; a test mass disposed on the basal member; a flexural member interposed between the basal member and the test mass such that the test mass is moveably disposed on the basal member via flexing of the flexural member; an armature disposed on the basal member and opposing the test mass and the flexural member such that: the armature is spaced apart from the test mass; a cavity including: a first mirror disposed on the test mass; a second mirror disposed on the armature, the spacer member providing a substantially constant distance of separation between a first measurement point of the first accelerometer and a second measurement point of the second accelerometer.
