Abstract
A pair of resonant optical cavities are used to measure shifts in length of a beam which deflects under acceleration. One end of each optical cavity is highly reflective and the other end partially reflective, thus permitting resonating light to exit the resonators. The light outputs of the two resonators is combined and the resultent beat frequency is used to detect deflections of the beam.
