ABSTRACT:
An instrument for measuring acceleration as a function of reciprocal mode splitting within a non-planar rising cavity. A glass block includes an internal non-planar cavity. The block includes orthogonal bending axes. A proofmass atop the block causes flexure about such axes upon imposition of acceleration force along a preselected sensitive axis. The resulting deformation results in detectable changes in the cavity aspect ratio that provide a measure of acceleration.
