Optical measuring device using a spectral modulation sensor having an optically resonant structure

摘要

The invention relates to optical devices for sensing and measuring various physical parameters. More particularly, this invention relates to an optical device having a spectral modulation sensor in which the physical parameter being measured causes spectral changes in the reflectivity and/or transmission of the sensor's optically resonant structure, thereby spectrally modulating the output light from the sensor as a function of the physical parameter being measured.
