Reduced size and weight
The sensor head of the MEMS fiber optic accelerometer measures only 28x6 mm and is ideal for applications requiring reduced size and weight.
Low power consumption
Our MEMS fiber optic accelerometers operate with minimal power consumption, leading to energy-efficient operation and reduced heat generation.
Low insertion loss
Our MEMS fiber optic accelerometers introduce minimal insertion loss, ensuring that the signal strength remains largely intact during transmission.
High Reliability
Our MEMS fiber optic accelerometers are renowned for their high reliability and long operational lifetimes. The hermetic sealing of the fiber optic accelerometer makes it particularly suited for vibration sensing in harsh environments.

The Fiber Optic accelerometer (FOA) is a passiv opto-mechanical acceleration sensor. The sensing device is a micromechanical Silicon mirror (MEMS) which deflects a light beam proportional to the acceleration. The Fiber Optic accelerometer can be placed in harsh environments and it is separated from the measurement electronics by optical fibers.

Working principles of the MEMS Fiber optic accelerometer

Sercalo's MEMS fiber optic accelerometer (FOA) is composed of an optical system where light coming from the input fiber is collimated on a seismic mirror. The mirror of the MEMS fiber optic accelerometer reflects the light into the output fiber with optical power proportional to the acceleration. The MEMS fiber optic accelerometer detects directional acceleration by applying DC offsets on the output.
