Abstract
A fiber optic angular accelerometer is provided by employing a flexible membrane having an optical fiber attached thereto, an input optical fiber for coupling light to the fiber attached to the flexible membrane and an output optical fiber for receiving light from the optical fiber attached to the flexible membrane whereby angular accelerations will occasion flexing of the flexible membrane and cause the optical fiber attached thereto to pivot about the point of attachment and occasion a change in light transmitted between the input and output optical fibers.
