Area of Science:

Optomechanical systems
Laser physics
Inertial sensing technologies

Background:

Optomechanical systems integrate optical and mechanical elements to sense physical phenomena.
Vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs) offer tunable laser output.
Inertial sensors are crucial for navigation, motion tracking, and scientific measurement.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and demonstrate an inertially sensitive optomechanical laser.
To integrate a VECSEL with a monolithic fused silica resonator for direct acceleration transduction.
To validate the sensor's performance using a proof-of-principle laboratory prototype.

Main Methods:

Combining a VECSEL with a monolithic fused silica optomechanical resonator.
Mounting the VECSEL external cavity mirror onto the resonator's test mass.
Measuring laser frequency shifts corresponding to mechanical oscillations.
Utilizing a heterodyne interferometer to independently track test mass motion.

Main Results:

Observed test mass oscillations at 4.18±0.03 Hz via VECSEL lasing frequency.
Independently measured mechanical resonance frequency of 4.194±0.004 Hz using interferometry.
Demonstrated direct transcription of acceleration onto the laser frequency.

Conclusions:

The optomechanical laser functions as a viable inertial sensor.
Interferometer measurements validate the VECSEL-based sensing approach.
Confirms the feasibility of optomechanical lasers for advanced inertial sensing applications.
