High-precision angular rate detection based on an optomechanical micro hemispherical shell resonator gyroscope.

Cavity optomechanics with picometer displacement measurement resolution has shown vital applications in high-precision sensing areas. In this paper, an optomechanical micro hemispherical shell resonator gyroscope (MHSRG) is proposed, for the first time. The MHSRG is driven by the strong opto-mechanical coupling effect based on the established whispering gallery mode (WGM).
