Abstract

A specially designed resonator to avoid the change of the resonance characteristics by thermal influences of the laser beam was fabricated on a silicon on insulator wafer. This resonator design enables one to apply a lateral driving force to generate lateral vibration. The resonator was excited using a laser diode which was driven with sinusoidal current, and the vibration was detected by measuring intensity fluctuation of the He–Ne laser beam reflected on the resonator mass. Four evident resonance frequencies were successfully observed in the range from 100 Hz to 100 kHz.
