DOI: 10.1063/1.5021801
Abstract: Optical interferometers are powerful tools for studying the flexural vibrations of nano- and micro-mechanical resonators. When a cantilevered microwire vibrates along a direction away from the optical axis, the interference signal may not be optimal… read more here.
