A sensor model and methodology to estimate the forcing accelerations measured using a novel optomechanical inertial sensor with the inclusion of stochastic bias and measurement noise processes is presented. A Kalman filter for the estimation of instantaneous sensor bias is developed; the outputs from this calibration step are then employed in two different approaches for the estimation of external accelerations applied to the sensor. The performance of the system is demonstrated using simulated measurements and representative values corresponding to a bench-tested 3.76 Hz oscillator. It is shown that the developed methods produce accurate estimates of the bias over a short calibration step. This information enables precise estimates of acceleration over an extended operation period. These results establish the feasibility of reliably precise acceleration estimates using the presented methods in conjunction with state of the art optomechanical sensing technology.

Crystalline lens overshooting refers to a situation in which the lens momentarily shifts too much from its typical location immediately after stopping the rotational movement of the eye globe. This movement can be observed using an optical technique called Purkinje imaging. In this work, an experimental setup was designed to reproduce this effect using a fresh porcine eye.

In this paper, the mechanical characteristics of a miniature optomechanical accelerometer, similar to those proposed for a wide range of applications, have been investigated. With the help of numerical modelling, characteristics such as eigenfrequencies, quality factor, displacement magnitude, normalized translations, normalized rotations versus eigenfrequencies, as well as spatial distributions of the azimuthal and axial displacements and stored energy density in a wide frequency range starting from the stationary case have been obtained. Dependencies of the main mechanical characteristics versus the minimal and maximal system dimensions have been plotted.
