In this paper, we present a new design for a micro-opto-electro-mechanical (MOEMS) gyroscope based on a whispering-gallery mode (WGM) microdisk resonator and MEMS resonator. The mechanical characteristics, frequency split, and quality factor (Q) of the MEMS resonator; the optical characteristics, Q value, and coupling regimes of the WGM resonator; and the coupling between the two resonators were analyzed. Its operation principle-the transformation process from angular velocity to the resonance wavelength of the WGM resonator-is presented at same time. Next, the analysis conclusions were validated with the help of simulations in ANSYS and FDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain) Solutions. Afterwards, some key specifications were estimated based on the results of simulations. Lastly, the fabrication process is detailed.

This study presented an overview of current developments in optical micro-electromechanical systems in biomedical applications. Optical micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) is a particular class of MEMS technology. It combines micro-optics, mechanical elements, and electronics, called the micro-opto electromechanical system (MOEMS).

The Talbot effect of an optical grating is studied both theoretically and experimentally. A structure of grating-mirror combination, fabricated by the micro-nano processing method, is used for out-of-plane structure detection.

In this paper, the characterization of a whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonator applied in a novel micro-opto-electro-mechanical system (MOEMS) gyroscope was investigated. The WGM optical transmission coupling model was analyzed and compared by adjusting key parameters, such as the cavity radius, the waveguide width, and the gap between them for silicon and silicon nitride materials in simulations, which will greatly affect the quality factor (Q) of the WGM resonator. Furthermore, the structural parameters of the disk resonant gyroscope were also optimized.
