RECERCAT author Azcona Guerrero, Francisco Javier author Jha, Ajit author Yáñez Alvarado, Carlos René author Atashkhooei, Reza author Royo Royo, Santiago 2016-06-29 Microcantilever motion detection is a useful tool for the characterization of the physical, chemical and biological properties of materials. In the past, different approaches have been proposed and tested to enhance the behavior, size and simplicity of microcantilever motion detectors. In this paper, a new approach to measure microcantilever motion with nanometric resolution is presented. The proposed approach is based on the concept of mechanically-modulated optical feedback interferometry, a technique that has shown displacement measurement capabilities well within the nanometric scale and that, due to its size, compactness and low cost, may be a suitable choice for measuring nanometric motions in cantilever-like sensors. It will be shown that the sensor, in its current state of development, is capable of following a cantilever sinusoidal trajectory at different sets of frequencies ranging up to 200 Hz and peak to peak amplitudes up to ¿/2 with experimental resolutions in the ¿/100 range.Postprint (published version) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ Open Access Àrees temàtiques de la UPC::Ciències de la visió::Òptica física Àrees temàtiques de la UPC::Enginyeria electrònica::Instrumentació i mesura Àrees temàtiques de la UPC::Enginyeria dels materials Optical fiber detectors Atomic force microscopy Resolution (Optics) Nanoscience Measuring instruments optical feedback interferometry displacement measurement nanometric resolution atomic force microscopy Detectors de fibra òptica Microscòpia de força atòmica Nanociència Mesurament -- Instruments Detectors òptics Microcantilever Displacement Measurement Using a Mechanically Modulated Optical Feedback Interferometer Article
