Abstract

A micromechanical sensor includes a movable micromechanical element and an optical resonator of disk or ring type, wherein the optical resonator has at least one interruption; and in that the movable micromechanical element is mechanically coupled to the optical resonator in such a way that a movement of the movable micromechanical element induces a modification of the width of the interruption of the optical resonator by moving at least one edge of the interruption in a direction substantially parallel to a direction of propagation of the light in the resonator at the interruption.
