USE OF OPTICAL MASERS AS TRANSDUCERS FOR PENDULUM AND STRAIN SEISMOGRAPHS

Abstract

Two one-meter infrared optical masers were operated in a manner such that horizontal strains would be detected. The first results have been encouraging and suggest that optical maser strain qauges will be able to compete with the much longer conventional strain gauges. An optical maser transducer for a seismograph has been built. A special short-period seismograph to be used with this transducer was constructed. (Author)
