Bias Stability Investigation of a Triaxial Navigation-Compatible Accelerometer with an Electrostatic Spring by Decong Chen, Yanzheng Bai, Chengrui Wang, Shuchao Wu, Chunyu Xiao, Jianbo Yu, Zebing Zhou

“…Because there is no mechanical connection between the inertial test mass and the frame, the bias performance relies on the stability of the equivalent electrostatic spring, where further sources are analyzed to get the optimal electrostatic force scheme. To investigate the bias stability under different ranges, the vertical and horizontal measurement ranges are designed at 5 g and ±10 mg, respectively. …”

Ultrasensitive nanoscale optomechanical electrometer using photonic crystal cavities by Xia Ji, Qiao Qifeng, Sun Haoyang, Huang Yongjun, Chau Fook Siong, Zhou Guangya

“…Here an integrated optomechanical electrometer is proposed for the electric charge sensing using a zipper cavity with a suspended photonic crystal nanobeam (PCN) acting as a movable mechanical resonator. As the electrostatic force arising from the electric voltage to be measured interacts with the mechanical motion of the movable PCN and modulates its resonance through electrostatic stiffening effect, optomechanical coupling transduces the mechanical motion to the optical field with enhanced sensitivity. …”
